Topic: Webb or Richardson, maybe someone else ?

[keith]

1.5 inches high, 8 inches across, lots of wear, no marks, heavy, not uv reactive with polished pontil mark, I'm leaning towards Richardson's, help please

Hi Keith  -  I like the expression 'or maybe someone else'

this is presumably a 'pressed' piece  - were Richardson known for pressed pieces  -  do you have some particular reason for thinking of Richardson?           Sorry, I really can't offer anything constructive, other than suggesting had you considered possibly Stuart or Davidson??

I seem to recall that Davidson might have done some vaguely similar pieces, though have to say can't now remember if this particular shade of green was something they did.

Hope someone comes up trumps for you.                  Nice piece by the way.

Hi, might it be related to the one in this thread: http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,69221.10.html
or the two in the links on the 2nd page? I have a bowl the same as the one linked to on lustrousstone’s website but mine is the same green as Keith's and is also non uv reactive.

Paul, not sure I'd call it pressed, has a well polished pontil mark, the rim reminds me of this amber  bowl, Webb's and the decor' of this Webb- Richardson bowl.
Ekimp, don't think they're related the pattern on the vase in the link is a lot larger, could be wrong 

[Lustrousstone]

It's mould blown, not pressed IMO

[Paul S.]

yes, I think that's probably what I meant to say.

Incase it is of interest, here is my bowl that I think looks quite similar (apart from the overall shape ). It has similar looking dimples, also in rows of twelve, the rows of twelve dimples extend to the polished pontil like Keith’s, except they have been flattened by the foot that I assume was formed after the dimples. You can still see two rows of dimples on the foot. The colour looks like it might be the same as Keith’s first photograph, and isn’t visibly uv reactive. 8 inches diameter, 4 inches tall.

I can see what you mean, the difference is yours has round dimples mine are rounded 'triangles' very similar colour though !

Keith, I think I have an amber one in one of the boxes.  Webb rings a bell.  Will post back when it surfaces.

Ta, look forward to seeing it
