Hi,

Does this look familiar in style/construction to anyone at all?

Thanks, Ben

One area to look at maybe the Pompeian range of glass by john Walsh Walsh.
nice piece of glass.

Hi Tim,

Thanks very much for your suggestion - I just got caught up in the whole Walsh Walsh/Arculus saga discussed in previous threads and haven't drawn any conclusions. I can't believe how thoroughly Flying Free (M) researches things! I wish I was as analytically-minded with a good memory to serve it! I reckon I need to invest in some good books to start with! The pontil mark is not well finished on my vase, as you can see in my photo. Would be great to hear M's opinion! Is one able to dm people on the GMB or invite people to threads?

Cheers, Ben

Hello Ben, I recently got a marked piece and it's  pontil mark is not well finished , I've not seen that shape in the books I have but who knows how many they made ?

[Dingledodger]

Hi Keith, thanks for taking the time to show your one for comparison - mine's certainly similar to yours! Could you upload a pic of the mark when you get a moment please. Mine's a funky shape isn't it?! I trust yours a very brightly glowing under UV?

If you can see a wee envelope icon below a person's name then you can send them an email via the board. They can then choose whether or not to respond to you via email.  If you already know someone's email address then you can use the Send this topic option on any topic's menu to invite a person to view and comment on a topic.

Thanks Anne - very useful to know!

That bulbous shape does strike me as consistent with the 30s, another possibility could be WMF. No uranium content Ben?

The pontil mark is snapped off then partially polished, the Walsh marks tend to be on the edge and therefore get worn away as you can see....
