Topic: Streaky enamelled vase

[Scott13]

Any help in providing an identity greatly appreciated 

The enamel has been painted ( and fused ) onto the surface of the glass - which under magnification has a fine orange peel appearance. There's also a hint of iridescence.

It has a rough pontil mark.

It looks as though it's been deliberately made to look cloudy.

Height about 17cm

Thanks for looking

please could you post a photograph 600x400 pixels and clear, of the base?

The base shot is very important and can be a factor in getting an identification.

thanks

It looks very similar to my William Walker 'Chinese' range vase.

Hi, many thanks for your help - it does look very like one of William Walker's pieces - possibly from the 80s ?

Hi, posting another pic as I really don't think my first one does it justice - hope you don't mind 
Its abstract design really is something - quite captivating- but of course I could be biased !

This is a signed William Walker bowl with a ruffle rim.

It could be remarkably similar to your vase however
the lighting on your photograph makes it very hard to see if it is the same kind of trailing design and the same opalescent effect.

Hi m, had a look at your bowl - not sure about my vase now

My vase's 'white' appears to be quite ' feathery ' and the design trailing rests very much on the surface of the glass.

With a bit of luck the attached pics will help.

Thanks

Hi, after having looked at your bowl for the umpteenth time I would say the finer more tangled bits of trailing could well have been done by the same hand - a bit like comparing handwriting styles I suppose.
Certainly the rim and pontil marks look similar - not sure about the opalescence though.

Not sure where this takes me - back to William Walker I hope
