However, I don't think it is Vasart can you give a pic of the base and close up of the canes please. Could be Strathearn but may be a Chic Young (Perthshire Paperweights)

Glasshound:
Thx Frank,

  I've added the pics you asked for..

My first thought as I viewed the 1st image was Perthshire Paperweights. Then I wondered about Strathearn, but I always imagine Strathearn pieces to not be as "swirly" - like the swirls within the purely green section.

Reminds me somewhat of 'that green bowl with canes' that was discussed at length some time back - is it shown in your site Frank?

The canes are not easily identifiable but the colours would seem to point to PP rather than Strathearn. And the clearly seen cog cane has 20 cogs, which is not (usually?) seen in Strathearn work. Having said that, no doubt a proven Strathearn piece will crop up to show that I have it wrong!

Frank:
Hard to be certain but it looks like it has a trace of the vague P that got pushed into the pontil button on PP pieces.

Some pieces of Strathearn are very swirly but those ones, mostly by Herbert Dreier, always have the seal. While some have been ground off to appear to be Monart, I don't think this one has.
