Topic: Green bowl for id please.

3 inches tall, polished pontil mark, I've seen this pattern before, Richardson's maybe  ?

It reminds slightly of the Horse Chestnut molded bowls doesn't it?

Has that look about it. (or maybe that's just me     )

Thanks m, was that one of Richardson's patterns ?

Do you know I can't remember how that one turned out in the end.  I remember there being a lot of discussion about it (Walsh v Richardson maybe?) but can't remember what it was eventually id'd as.

However, the pattern on yours looks like an unopened tulip and leaves or something doesn't it?
Just that the technique is similar but yours, instead of being opalescent with the thicker parts showing as whiter and therefore showing up the mold design more on the opalescent pieces, is green to clear but still mold blown in a similar way. Did I explain that badly    ah well, hopefully you know what I mean.

Hi Keith  -  it reminded me of one of the T.W. rather obscure watery looking swirl patterns.          Am saying all this without looking in the books, so likely way off beam, but you know the sort of indistinct wavey patterns I mean.

Thanks both, will have to do more digging !

sorry to appear thick, but what is a 'horse chestnut bowl', please

I have this one and have tentatively concluded Richardson http://lustrousstone.co.uk/cpg/displayimage.php?pid=2629

'tentative' looks to stand a good chance  -  beware though - Manta Ray approaching            I no longer have Gulliver so unable to check - but assume this surface pattern of 'circles' appearance doesn't appear in his book?

ooh that's a gorgeous example Christine!

Funnily enough, it reminds me of my peacock eye salts that I thought might be Stuart (but Richardson was in question for it iirc as well).
However didn't Stuart make a fabulous opalescent peacock eye vase with red as well as the opalescent?  In the dim distance of my memory I seem to remember seeing an amazing example somewhere.  Perhaps just reminiscent of the amber and pink on your version.

Paul there are various shaped bowls/vases in this pattern:
