Victorian Vaseline 'finds' from Cambridge
Leni:
Here's my 'show-and-tell' from the Cambridge Glass Fair : a couple more Victorian vaseline mini vases. Not quite 'Audrey', but the style I like.
This is one which Dave (Mr Vaseline Glass) shows one on the front of his book, and has confirmed as Stourbridge : http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/albums/userpics/10048/normal_Stourbridge_leaf_footed_uranium_flower.jpg
It's almost the pair of one I bought a couple of years ago. The rim is slightly different, as are the overall proportions, but they are clearly 'sisters'. For comparison, here's the first one : http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/albums/userpics/10048/normal_Flower%20pot%20with%203%20feet%202.jpg
The other one is a tall, skinny 'Audrey' : http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/albums/userpics/10048/normal_Slim_Audrey.jpg
She has some strange rigaree trailing leading down to three of the six 'root' feet. At first I thought a couple of the feet had been chipped and smoothed off at some time, but on closer examination it appears they were actually made that way. They are slightly odd and a little asymetric, but not obtrusively so. This one has a 'look' of a Stourbridge piece, but I'm not sure. I like her anyway, because of the slight eccentricity, which quite suits me :wink: :lol:
A good day's 'shopping' I thought! :D

Looks like a fruitful day Leni, particularly like the first one you picture, I do think these are very under rated at present by many people. Only sorry I missed it but didn't arrive back from holiday until last night, nust check schedule more carefully for next year.

I'm beginning to really like the creamy style of this glass, but I don't think I'll ever get to grips with the ruffles and fluting! :lol:
(you never know though...)

Nah, you're not a 'frilly' girl, Max :wink: I know your taste is 'modern & elegant' 8) I like the ruffles, 'cos I'm more 'arsenic & old lace' :lol:
I love the subtle green-to-cream colour of this sort of vaseline, rather than the bright yellowy-green stuff, and I love to see the opalescence when the sunlight hits it!

Oh Leni, you wait until I find the box with the thorn vases....it's under here somewhere (mutter mutter mutter....)
