I had to go and look that up a couple of times before I discovered that your long saught after Osiris vase is Stevens and Williams.

Well done. It's wonderful to find something you've been wanting for a long time.

well that's a great find

Does it have a polished pontil mark?

Bit of an odd base finish, looks like it was just pushed in ?

I am green Keith, never found a piece of Osiris 'in the wild', definitely one that is on my list.

is it acid etched satin Keith?

Hajdamach, British glass 1800-1914 page 282 has some interesting information near the bottom of the second paragraph re the base.

Will have to get a lens out to see if 'patent' is on the base, was surprised it wasn't marked.
