Topic: Is this possibly a Monart basket?

[zidori]

Another holiday acquisition was this beautiful basket. The muted pastel colours are stunning and I wondered if it could be a Monart basket?

I doubt Monart. I've seen these handles before - either on Nazeing or on something very like Nazeing which is as yet unidentified, and always described in the same way as Nazeing as "Scottish glass" when the seller doesn't know what they have. However, these are invariably a single colour.

The three colours ARE unusual - have you looked very carefully all over it? 3 colours makes me wonder a little bit about Grey-Stan...

Thanks again, Sue. Will get researching Grey-Stan and others.

Hi,
definitely Not Monart, by guess would be possibly for Elwell - they were made by different glass companies including Nazeing and also I believe S&W.
The colours are unusual altogether but they are all known colours for Elwell pieces though normally just in one colour.
I doubt very much GreyStan.
Do the bubbles have a halo of colour around them when held up to the light?

good luck as many of these posy bowls / vases are difficult to attribute exactly, though yours looks like a better quality one.

Thanks for reply, Roberta. No halo of colour to bubbles. The colours would best be described as smears of colour with areas of clear glass and it does not resemble any of the Nazeing pieces I have come across. there are four distinct colours used - pink, yellow, blue and white.
