Topic: Possible S&Williams threaded bowl,

[keith]

Around 3 inches high,polished pontil mark,I'm sure I read somewhere that the 'square' crimping was a S&W 'design' but probably copied I suppose

[David E]

A hyacinth vase with a similar colourway; amber with ruby threading, crimped top, appears in Patricia's book, and is identified as Stevens & Williams.

Thanks m,there is one similar on page 280 of 'British Glass 1800-1914' the only piece in the picture without an attribution

[David E]

Worth noting that in Patricia's book, the vase is shown alongside the actual drawing from the S&W pattern book. But in all fairness to Charles H if you saw all the S&W pattern books then you'd understand why it's difficult to track individual items down. See p.6 The Curious History of the Bulb Vase that has a photo of said pattern book - over 50 (thick) volumes... 

Wouldn't it be nice to have all that catalogued?

Next project maybe David?

I can see the similarity,very interesting pieces,always amazes me that they survive,

They have the same 9 way (18 way?) crimp - I'm wondering if they were done by the same machine if you see what I mean?
