Is this uranium vase really Henry Greener?
« on: August 29, 2020, 10:50:39 AM »
There are a number of small uranium vases from the 1870 to 1890 period which are unknowns. Only this one has been attributed to Henry Greener pretty much everywhere you look, but on asking various collectors this week, none have been able to prove the attribution - does anyone know if it is solid or just bad info that has been copied around the net?

I have a few of these vase variations and it must be said this one looks like a duller yellow and generally a bit cheaper than the other types...

As far as I can tell it's Internet Chinese whispers. I have it down as Greener? I've just looked at all my similar vases and I would say the perhaps it has less uranium then the others from its reaction in bright daylight. The quality is not noticeably different to the others though

I've got two yellow and one green one of these and have always accepted them as being Greener. I think the design features and colour are similar to some of their other pieces. It needs one to be found with an RD.No. or trademark, but that seems unlikely.

Here are another two which don't tend to get labelled as Greener so often, the one on the right is sometimes punted as Derbyshire, but does not really match up to any known patterns.

Well it seems this is in the 1874 Sowerby pattern book thanks to Mike posting the Sowerby catalogues today... by way of celebration here is the lesser seen plain flint version
