Topic: Peter Tysoe perfume bottle (UK)

[Anne]

Yes, as was my perfume bottle.

I know this is an old discussion, but I thought I'd add my sole piece of Peter Tysoe glass.

[Anne]

That's lovely Helen, thanks for adding it. The effect  in the glass is the same as my perfume bottle.

[Helen W.]

It was your bottle that prompted me. 

My vase is one of my nicer charity shop finds.

Great find in a charity shop!  Mine was new in the 1980s - I think from somewhere like Dickens and Jones but I'm not sure - I can still visualise the display where they were but not the store name! And I seem to recall they were about £7 each, possibly even £8 each in the sale, and I think half-price which is why I bought two of them.

This is the only piece I have but a very nice little bottle. Label on the base. Adding for info as one of these was mistaken for an Isle of Wight Studio attenuated bottle/experimental piece.

Cheer,       Andy

Andy, that's so beautiful.

This one has a small plastic label.

These bottles differ from those from IoWSG in fairly obvious ways, they are quite a bit smaller, have less of a pronounced shape and the colours really don't match... I guess they are similar in size to attenuated bottles from Kerry, rare as those are.

Hi John,

I think they thought it was an experimental piece, as you say when put next to an IOW attenuated bottle the difference is odvious. It didn't have a label so I guess it was an assumption.

Don't remember seeing this shape before from Mr Tysoe, a large blue bowl signed Peter Tysoe 78. Sorry, photos best I could manage in the circumstances.
