Found this piece recently its a heavy lump with lots of unusual color on the sides
and as stated above i think it maybe known as half post method for applying of the
rim to the main body of the vase. The base has a really well polished pontil scar and
a well formed rim would love to find out any information on the piece thanks for looking
measures 3 1/4" all round

I find the term "half-post" to be really confusing. We have had long discussions about this years ago. The descirption "half-post" came from an early bottlemaking term.
I have been trying to replace it with "partially cased" which does for all other items as well.

My first thoughts on this - before I enlarged it, that it might be Benny Motzfeldt for Randsfjord.
But the colours of the bottom part are wrong and it's not a diamond shaped inkwell.
And I'm not sure if she put rims on.

I've got the book on her, I'll have a check for you and see if this is one of her designs.  :)

(I have editied this post to change my booboo of saying Hadeland instead of Randsfjord.)

It could be an Isle of Wight piece, a scarce range called Fondant, there are a couple of threads here on the GMB.

Well-spotted suzy!
I knew the decor looked terribly familiar. I haven't seen Fondant in this sort of inkwell shape before - just on globe vases. It was the shape took me to Norway.
The I go to the thread you've linked to and see I have seen it before. It was only the round ones that stuck
What would I do without you, to keep me on track?  ::)  :-*

 :) Wonderfull i admit to having a thought of Iow When i first saw it but
not having a flame and the unusual top made me discount it to soon really.
The knowledge base here is amazing and its always good to jog the memory
with old pieces too  8) I over the moon at it being such a short lived design
although maybe it was not to popular at the time of production :)  :o

I love having friends to discuss things with who can put me right when I make mistakes - or confirm that I did actually get it right. Team-work.  ;D
But this id is all Suzy's doing. :-[
