My brother recently picked up a vase sold as Webbs but its pattern is very much like the Spry vases I have, with one exception, the colour, thoughts please  ??? ;D ;D

Keith, S&W/RB used the Venetian Ripple pattern on production ware as well as the series of wares designed by Constance Spry. As far as I'm aware no piece of Constance Spry has been recorded in a colour - in other words all have been clear/flint.

If anyone finds a coloured piece marked with the facsimile Constance Spry mark then this will of course change things  ;)  :) 

The amber vase looks very RB to me  ;) Have you been able to compare it to any Webbs amber piece to help ID it?

Cheers, Nigel
