Topic: Ruby red brass lidded bottle signature help please. ID = Will Shakspeare

[brucebanner]

This escaped the charity shop this morning, it's signed and well made, i have no idea where or when it's from but if i had to guess i would think 1940's, it's 3 1/8th inches in height and has blue specs within the glass and a metal screw top lid.

Shaks would likely be Will Shakspeare, currently working in Taunton. Not seen one of these before though.

Thanks John it's an ink bottle by the look of things and there's me thinking it's from the 40's

Something about the shape colours and that brass lid perhaps...

I had a multi coloured version of this.  They are beautifully made as is all his glass.
I'm a big fan
