Pair of uranium green vases - Sowerby? Czech?
« on: April 19, 2012, 06:16:01 PM »
190mm/7.5 inches tall.  VERY strong reaction under UV light.  The undersides of the feet have been partly ground so that they stand well.

When I bought these, they had a seller's label saying Sowerby, but the pattern looks very Czech.

Can anyone confirm or deny?  Thanks.

apologies - it was rather late and I was struggling to find the link to glaspavillon, and obviously grabbed one that was specific rather than just the general link.      Anyway, assume you are agreeing that Walther Helen was the correct match.    thanks. :)

Thanks, folks.

And it's me that needs to polish me goggles.  I've been though Pamela's vases at least three times and missed it!!

Obviously not a good seller. 

Pamela has 1936 for it.  It's not in the 1933 catalogue on http://www.glas-musterbuch.de/ and it's gone by 1937.

that being the case, might now make it a rare piece if produced for only a limited time, obviously Pamela doesn't have a u. example :)

Hope so :-)

They're so bright under UV that I'm almost scared to stand too close (no, not really, I've read the science...)
