Hi again, the only match i can find for this 20cm ht vase is Wedgewood,but no mark on the base?!?any thoughts,many thanks.

I've done a bit more research into RSW and if this is a piece by him it could be pre 69 when Wedgewood took control of the firm,so dating it between 67 and 69.

Hi, it does look like a Wedgwood Cylinder vase.  Here is mine - http://20cglass.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=54_23_24&products_id=270 - and you might like to check the dimensions.  Being hand-blown of course there may be a difference but it should be slight.

Thanks Neil,i've looked them up on RSW's site and there were 3 sizes for wedgewood 7.5",9"and 10",mine is just over 8" and 20.5cm which makes me feel this is very much a kings Lyn era piece rather than a Wedgewood,probably something to do with accountants ;)

Hi again. There are two reasons why Wedgwood (please note, no second "e" in Wedgwood) glass may have no sand blasted mark (they didn't use acid etching) and one of them is that it may be an early Kings Lynn Glass piece.  Typically the lower the RSW number the more likely that it was made prior to the acquisition by Wedgwood.  The RSW20 numbr suggests therefore that it was probably made both before and after the acquisition.  The other reason is that it may be a second.  Seconds weren't marked.  Hope this helps.

Neil
