Topic: Question regarding a "stump Lady" flower frog?

[meegs]

Hello Everyone,
I am assuming as this stump lady does not have piercings she would be a centre piece for a table, a bit like Bagleys Andromeda without the peg. Could someone with greater knowledge on these things please confirm or deny my theory!
Does anyone know who may have produced this piece - I realise from reading through some of this wonderful website it may not be possible!
But I would like to find out, so I know what I need to keep an eye for in the way of posy rings or bowls she would have come with.
Cheers

From the colour she looks like Sowerby. Can we have a direct side on shot and a direct back shot (i.e. not looking down).  Being further away and then cropping might help with the focus but frosted uranium never wants to focus. I'll look at my Sowerby CDs later (work beckons :-( )

Thanks Christine,
Here are a couple more photos.
She has a base diameter of 3 1/4 inches and around 6 3/8 inches tall.
The black one is the same mold and that is the bowl she came with. The bowl is a good colour match but I dont think it was designed for a centrepiece as you can see it is more of a fruit bowl.
Cheers

She's not Sowerby; her left leg is on top of her right leg. The Sowerby lady is the other way round.

Thank-you Christine,
A figure that was sold to me as Sowerby has bare breasts with her hands in her lap (right leg on-top of left), but when scouring the net The information I found showed the figure from Sowerby hands were in a similar position to this one but I hadn't noticed the leg position. Did Sowerby produce a bare breasted figure in this style? Or have any attributions I may have had for any of these figures gone out the window....
Thanks

According to the Thistlewood's CDs, there seems to be two Sowerby ladies; one bare breasted and one covering them with her hands both with right leg on top. The covered lady is shown in the catalogue and the bare lady is found so frequently with the Sowerby 2565 bowl that she is almost certainly Sowerby.

She's not Sowerby; the Sowerby ladies have their right legs on top, not their left ones.

Ok so i could be wrong  :huh2: thats ok :thud:

But looking at 20th Century Glass site it shows "Seated Lady" figurine's with different positioned legs.
If not please tell me "Coz i'm on L for learner plates"
