quote     .....................…    "So.......probably not much help to you at all really."  -  no!!  you're dead right - it's already gone back to the charity shop            why didn't you tell me sooner?

I'm joking cat  -  but have to say had I known it was Nazeing when it was mine I think I'd have kept it.            Over the years I've seen a fair amount from that factory, but as they come in dribs and drabs  -  and since I'm horrendously impatient - I almost always let them go after taking some snaps, though have to say I've seen very few of their pieces in recent times.          Think I now have only a single vase.   I like the random sort of way that the colouring/bubbles are used  -  they're appealing with a mid C20 old style appearance.

Nazeing produced a few pieces  -  mainly lamp bases and some squat round vases  -  that use pronounced ribs as both vertical and horizontal forms of decoration, but this particular design doesn't appear in Geoff Timberlake's book. but then it does seems that much material is absent.

thanks for the  'thought that counts'

It may be gone.....but the memory lingers on, and I spotted this alternative theory on page 5 of the Wuidart Catalogue.  It gives a height of 170mm but, unfortunately, i can't find a height mentioned in the thread.  DId you happen to measure it?

gosh, you want dimensions too  ………………………..     I'm good, as you know, but that would be stretching my efficiency.             Sorry cat, nope, didn't make a note of size which ordinarily I would if I'd been posting a single item  ……….   the fact that I was doing a 'bunch' of things meant that my usual methodology went by the board.            However, sincere thanks for pursuing this matter, and always of interest to see data from various makers.

Just dropped in and thought I'd check backward through the posts. I'm haven't read this in detail, for some reason although I want to, my mind is concentrating properly 

The turquoise blue does seem to come from what I call the 'Elwell era', that is the third period of Nazeing art glass. Sorry about the convoluted description, it made sense to me at the time and is something that is not always easy to describe.

The amber bubbled piece is a known S&W shape. Stop concentrating on the bubbles and add in the other factors that I know many of you already know  However, it is NOT Keith Murray. They are working on hope rather than a reference, since it certainly does not appear in the KM Description Book.

The green horizontally ribbed green pieces may well also be S&W, but I can't get the detail I need from the base shot properly, sorry.

T Webb, S&W and Gray-Stan all supplied Elwell with glass. They also bought from Czechoslovakia.

EDIT:
Oh, Geoff published what he could at the time. It did include ribbed pieces, both vertical and horizontal, but not how you're discussing them here perhaps. The vertical tends to be pre-war and on transparent coloured piece, whereas the horizontal is raised, almost applied, and post war.
