Topic: Irredesent bowl maker query? ID = Isle of Wight Studio Glass

[VicE]

Hi all, can anyone help me identify the maker of this lovely irresdescent bowl please? No maker mark or label, rough Pontil

It looks very Isle of Wight Studio Glass, to me.
Not exactly sure which range because I can't quite make out the whole thing, but the long streaks combined with the splodges suggests some form of Summer Fruits. (the fruit will depend on the colour)
It's definitely an IoWSG sort of shape, but footed things are scarcer that other shapes.
Again, I'm not exactly sure of the profile shape.
The lack of a mark and the roughly broken pontil mark are becasue it is a footed thing - they ended up getting finished off differently to the more normal ranges.

Thank you, I looked it up following your thoughts and it looks like it is your mulberry pattern. Thanks for your help

Summer Fruits is a normal sort of production range - but this is a more complex piece than the normal everyday shapes made.
There is an applied rim, there is a merise, there is the foot. Is it a tea-light holder, do you think?

I think this might fit in more with the somewhat more specialist pieces of goblets and candleholders.
