Topic: Richardsons "rich" green cameo light shade? thought's please.

[brucebanner]

I think this might be  Richardsons or Webbs, i have had a good look but can only see a few similar designs attributed to Richardsons.

My favourite find so far this year.

10 inches in diameter and roughly 6 inc hes in height.

Regards Chris.

That's lovely.
I would have thought maybe Bohemian as a possible as well? or is there something about it that is definitely Richardson/Webb?
 
perhaps Riedel or ....sorry wracking brains here - maybe Reich ? (I'm not sure if I've remembered that one correctly - but I came across a huge catalogue of lampshades and I thought it was them).
I'll have a quick look to double check that but I recall they have a huge online catalogue and I found one of my lampshades on there.

edit - No,not Reich but Schreiber and Neffen

It does look very similar to a Riedel shape lampshade I've seen and they did do a green on clear I think ( I have a vase that I believe is Riedel  and is that same metally looking green on clear). 
However... I don't have the Riedel book and whilst I am 99.9% certain mine is Riedel, I have never had it confirmed fully with a cat picture.
And I have no idea if they did that 'hammered' background but it has piqued my interest with regard to another thread!

There's a pair of vases in 20th CBG, page 72 by Thomas Webb with that type of background finish so maybe ?

Keith I had a look - yes very similar background isn't it?
plate 141- but the right hand one with the blue glass band and blue cut to clear cameo is actually Richardson's and is one of their 'Rich Cameo' vases according to the caption.

The flower/plant on the lampshade is a geranium is it?  just wondering - maybe quite an English subject ?
It isn't a subject that fits in with the description of the Thomas Webb pieces in the book though, where there are only two flowers mentioned.
However Richardon's Rich Cameo may be a possibility although the design looks to be stylistically different on the lampshade compared to the vase shown in the book.

for anyone without the book, this vase is I think the same design as the one in the book described as Richardson's Rich Cameo

and the pattern on the lampshade is a nasturtium not geranium I think ? - sorry.

I'd agree with the suggestion of nasturtium, although not sure why they should have been shown as green, aren't they a rather bright orange, usually.
I think I'd also call this my find of the year, very nice.              Have to say that I've never seen a 1930/40s  ceiling shade produced in this sort of 'fleur cameo' ware - it's only vases I can find.            As for the 'hammered' background, this looks to have been used by several factories, so on it's own perhaps unreliable as to helping with the id, but since I know almost zero about cameo glass then you may well be correct with the Richardson suggestion.

Really should learn to read !

Thanks for the thought's and here is a pick of the very flower being ravaged by caterpillars at the bottom of my garden.

It's lovely. I wonder it was something produced for Liberty or suchlike

This is definately Richardsons rich, Will farmer had a look at it today and said that it was.
