Some new Vaseline Glass - ID needed

Hi

Bought some more older glass today – Vaseline I think

This vase is a milk white cased in a thin layer of green Vaseline glass, the fringed rim is yellow/green Vaseline and so is the leaf trailing, 5.5” high and with lots of age ware, has a concave pontil that has been very polished.



Two vases here - I don’t know the name for this technique. Again the whole is cased in a thin layer of Vaseline that lines the rim in a very organic fashion. Applied decoration with Vaseline foliage and one perfect blue flower mounted about 1cm away from the surface. This is double cased with an opaque white/yellow to outer and a pink inner that bleeds through. It bleeds through on one vase more than the other as the pink is stronger inside that one, is that a problem for as pair? – 5.25” high with irregular ground pontil to base showing through to a clear white spot





Thanks

Glassyone:
Could they be Boulton and Mills ?

Or Stevens and Williams?
Someone will know, that's an acanthus leaf applied and looks nicely made.

Edit, in the rush I forgot to say they are lovely.

Lustrousstone:
I'm rapidly going off you  :evil:  :twisted: teasing us with such lovely things. Stevens and Williams looks a very good bet

Ivo:
Differences in colour serve to underline the unique handmade quality of these rare works and should be considered an asset, not a fault. :D  :D  :D

Connie:
It looks like Ruth nailed the first one.  The link she provided shows what appears to be an identical one identified as Boutlon & Mills.

Ruth - where were you when I needed help with my pieces  :lol:  

I wonder if my pitcher is Boulton & Mills rather than Stevens & Williams  :?:
