Vasart cylinder vase? Perthshire Paperweights

Hi,

For what it's worth I've never seen a semi-raised or raised pontil in conjunction with the tooled in/pushed in "P". Surely it would not allow for the "P" to occur, since it covers the area where it should be?
My monies on it being Perthshire Paperweights. It certainly has the attributes of those pieces that have swirls, with two colours and the canes between. There a number of known examples of these, but not in this cylinderical shape - so, maybe, there's a first :)
However, I've never studied the canes in the way that you do Kevin and they may be the conclusive evidence that is required.

A collector with several of the PP pieces cofirms that the pontil is typical, as is the colouring, so I think it can be safely attributed as a Chic Young piece.

Frank, I have sent you two pictures of my cylinder vase which I hope you can post for me . Hopefully it should clear up the little mystery  :wink:

Thanks Keith

Frank:
The point to note about the impressed P is that it was presumably a shaped stamp that was just pressed onto the hot soft button. When I visited the PP showrooms I found it quite hard to recognise as a mark at all, on some pieces it was clear but still looked like a natural effect. On many it barely impressed at all and only the fact that I knew what it looked like from others, allowed me to recognise it!
