Topic: pressed celery vase with leaves decoration.

[Paul S.]

probably too much of a long shot for an id - but just thought I'd give it a go.

Stemmed C19 pressed celery vases are sometimes massive and quite decorative, although modern equivalents tend to be more utility looking.          I just thought this one was a bit more appealing, and it was really only pennies so will keep for a while and then it'll get passed on again.
I think the seeds are supposed to be acorns and holly buds, but not too sure about the accuracy of the leaves.         
No marks that I can see  -  it's about 5.5" - 140 m/m tall, and four mould seams as can be seen on the foot. 

So really just for show, but if anyone does know the maker please shout  -  thanks for looking.

Morning Angela - my sincere thanks, I really thought this was going to remain unknown  -  just shows I should have more faith in GMB members.
You're right about the leaves being different, and I'd assumed they looked more like holly leaves.            What sort of date might you put on this then??

I think the design is attractive - you're welcome to have this celery to go with your bowl if you would like -  just let me know off Board some time.

thanks again

Just found a previous discussion on this pattern which dates it as 1911

thanks for that  -  must admit I wouldn't have put it that old, but just goes to show.              Though maybe the mould continued in use for a few years perhaps, as with much European pressed glass.              Thanks also to Janice for that info. in the first place.
