Tall green Webbs? vase help please
« on: August 10, 2014, 01:50:05 PM »
Hello there i can not find anything on this vase, i think it's by Thomas Webb at a guess 1920's, it has a good ring to it and wear to the base, a flat bottom no pontil but a swirl in the centre of the base.

It's 9 1/2 inches in height, 4 3/4 inches across the rim and 3 5/8th inches across the base.

Any help welcome regards Chris.

Chris  -  have you looked on Pamela's sites for a possible match?       This one doesn't speak 1920's to me  -  just my opinion, but I'd suggest a couple of decades later, or getting on for that.

Assume this one doesn't glow.             Stuart, it seems, never used uranium, although T/Webb did.     This doesn't have the looks of a Gay Glass design  -  but Christine is good at those things - what does she think.

As Paul said it might be a bit later it's difficult to tell sometimes a good example would be me yesterday when I saw what was being sold as an Art Deco vase and thought it was a piece of modern repro until earlier this morning reading 20th Century B .Glass,page 192,top right is a Jobling vase from the 1930's, still don't like it though, ::) ;D ;D

I assume this is a pressed piece - you might look for any seams.

Always worth having a look, especially the first link, and particularly if you've not been to either before  -  real treat in terms of the variety of pressed glass.           You may well not find it in either, but always worth eliminating them.

It's not a Gay Glass colour, far less shape, so if it's Webb, it's not from that range. :)

or mould blown it's too uneven for pressed glass. There are a lot of runs in the glass mostly on the inner surface and the rim looks very uneven unless it pressed into a mould to look like it?
