Is this a Strathearn Surface Decorated piece?

<< < (4/4)

RAY:
i was wondering Gary if these are the left over's from the tropic range, ie the bit that is left on the pontil iron after the weight has been cut off

Mountaingit:
To get back to the original question Ronnie. Are you sure that vase was surface decorated? Could you feel a texture? It just looked like a cased, clear glass decoration to my eyes. These multi-coloured "spattered effect" pieces were fairly common in Strathearn. For Luckyslap, I THINK these were from a range called "Aurora". They did a range of paperweights in a very similar decoration. Best wishes to all, Martin.

I doubt this. Surely, the coloured chips around any "left overs" part on the punty iron would have been too small to do much with. And anyway, I imagine most of the "left overs" would have been removed from the iron by simply dunking in cold water, resulting in just a pale full of broken shards.

Hi Martin
The surface of the vase is definitely textured. When I first picked it up I thought it had been painted over with a textured paint which made me think it was a fake Strathearn until I read about the surface decorated Monart pieces and wondered if Strathearn had used the same techniqu - hence the original question.
Thanks for your interest and input.
Ronnie
