Topic: Is this Thomas Webb End of the Day Glass?

tee hee

Just in case the links disappear, in the link to Collectors weekly Alfredo shows enamelled examples of this decor and says that there is a fully signed example in the Passau Museum catalogue page 129.  He also says that the Passau mentions undecorated examples and that other companies made this type of decor, if I read it correctly?#
So does that mean this particular piece is still inconclusive?

I vote for "still inconclusive". In my opinion, the decoration on the items said to be Moser is less generic and is applied with a more considered design balance than on Kathy's piece. That's not to say that I think Kathy's vase is unpleasant in any way.

I showed this pair of "jug vases" in an older discussion of this type of decor and although I have not yet searched for that thread, I am fairly sure that a Moser attribution was not confirmed for any of the items covered in that message.

Kevin I don't know for sure, but Alberto says on that site he does have the Moser attribution.

Let's add in the earlier GMB discussions where similar types of decor were discussed:

From October 2009, where yellow-white spatter joined in at the mid point:

Well friend this is the reply I got from Moser.

Dear Mrs. Clark, thank you for your e-mail and the sent pictures. We appreciate your interest in Moser products very much. I have forwarded your pictures to the identification department and unfortunately I have to inform you that this vase was not produced by Moser glassworks as the design and used techniques do not correspond to the moser production. The specialist has no idea where this special vase had been produced. I am sorry I couldn´t provide you better information but I do hope to be more helpful to you next time. Best regards

I guess that settles it, but I am still stumped about what this vase really is. Groan  :spls: :ho: :phew:

Bohemian late 1800s/early 1900s is as good as you are going to get. There is so much production from that region and period we know little about and probably never will. It also seems very likely this yellow spatter stuff was produced by several glassworks.

Having a host of small scale decorators working here and there does not help simplify the picture either. :spls:

well again thank you all so much. I really appreciate all the time you have spent with me on this vase.

God bless you all :hi:

sympathies Kathy - the world of glass collecting does provide these disappointments, on occasions   -   the up side being that many of us learn things along the way, with threads like yours.           I'm an atheist by the way, so I don't think I can be 'blessed'
