Webb Corbett 'Daffodil' bowl?

<< < (2/3) > >>

:D :D :D

I've just checked Nigel's '50's & '60's book too. It's the same vase in both books, but '50's & '60's was published in 2002, while the Art Deco to Post Modernism was Published in 2003, in conjunction with the exhibition that Nigel and Jeanette Hayhurst put together. I assume by the time the exhibition was put together, this pattern and designer had been id'd, as '50's & '60's says designer unknown.

Nigel is often found on the Ysart forum, Max!, and his stand at the Cambridge Fair is the big one, centre stage at the back of the main hall!

Max:
Sue, you are a darling. xx  I'm going to Cambridge to see Bernard anyway, so I'll take this bowl along to see Nigel too.  Now, if I can just line up Patrick Hogan for the same event, that's all my interesting pieces sorted.   :lol:  :lol:

Will you be there this year?  :?:

Does the Earth orbit the Sun? :P:P:P

Hello everyone,

Just back from the NEC and the British Art Cut Glass exhibition, which seemed to be favourably received.

Well, I always thought that the sun rose above flowers, not from underneath 'em :lol:

Had I been around, you either wouldn't have got the bowl, or you might have had to pay a whole lot more :shock:  :) Well done, Max.

Yes, it is Webb & Corbett, designed by David Smith and from a range referred to as 'No 2 Daffodil' vase/bowl, mid 1950's.

Hope that helps, Nigel

Max:
Thank you for the confirmation Nigel.  :D   I'm lucky you didn't spot it.  :wink:

Seriously though, cut glass & crystal is under-rated IMO - maybe because it's just so darned hard to tell one unsigned piece from another?  Plus I think it went out of favour for a while.  Hopefully exhibitions like your NEC one will help people be better informed...as long as they don't outbid me on eBay...   :P

Thanks again xx
