Textured surface vase

(1/3) > >>

essi:
A recent purchase that caught my eye. Don't know quite what to say about this vase. The outer surface is covered with what seems like a fine raised texture.
it has a height of 162mm and is 152mm at the top.
Any comments gratefully accepted.

Does it bite? :) (apologies  8) )
It does not look quite like Matthey crinkles does it?
I wonder if the effect could have been produced by a technique that was used in the Wedgwood lustred enamel ceramic wares known as "souffle" in the early parts of the 20th century
The very finely powdered enamel was "puffed" through a muslin cloth onto the surface, to give a dispersed effect to the colours when subsequently heated.

Thanks for the reply Sue. Are the Mathey crinkles the same the small tumblers my family had back in the 60s and seventies with maybe half the surface covered with textured surface?
Looking online there was a French vase with similar finish described as sugar frosted  :).
Under close inspection the texture seems to very small particles of glass stuck to a clear body.
I will keep looking.

Yes. Those horrible feeling squash glasses.  ;D
Through muslin puffing of powder would produce the effect you have. I'm not getting much off the web, I know about this because I have the Wedgwood Fairyland Lustre book, and it was in the days of Daisy Machaig-Jones starting up with Fairyland that she encountered this way of applying the enamel background.
You'll find the texture on the dragon bowls that slightly pre-empted Fairyland.

As you can imagine, the melting powder might well run on a ceramic item when in the oven, but I don't think it's neccessarily going to do that on another glass surface.

It's the only way I can think of that your sort of much smaller and smoother than the sugar crystal sharp bits of the crinkles, could have been applied successfully.
