Topic: Blue honeycomb white encased frilled vase help please.

Hello does anyone recognise this, i'm not sure if it's Victorian or 1960's, there are a few broken bubbles inside and a rough pontil with not much wear to the base.

It's 5 inches in height, 4 inches across the rim.

Always thought these were English until I came here and now know they were made here there and everywhere,UK, USA, Italy....etc....

Does anyone know if these "non-air trap" versions (for want of a better phrase) were also made in many countries.

I tend to think that "non-air trap" might mean "Stourbridge", but that's probably just because of a bad habit of believing auction catalogues!

Kev, I'm a bit confused by your questions. How do you know it is 'non air-trap' and not created using an air trap method please?
And what do you mean by believing non air-trap pieces mean Stourbridge?
Sorry, I've just got a bit lost somewhere probably

The pattern shows ribbing which is not cased in clear glass, especially noticeable on the underside of the base. Since it is not cased it is not "air trap".

I first became aware of this distinction several years ago when I saw two vases of diamond pattern (matching an example I already owned) in a London auction room which were described as "Stourbridge air-trap" ... but were not cased!

It's not air trap but Victorian seems OK
