Ebony & Gold SS005

Hi Romy,
I have owned and sold a number of these SS005 pieces over the last few years, some with etched Stuart marks some without. The signed vases seemed to be a bit more substantial, possibly a little heavier and more randomly gilded than those that had no etched mark. I currently have 2 of these unmarked randomly gilded pieces, identical in shape and size to SS005 but strangely 1 vase is not black but is purple. There must be other glass companies making vases in this design. I have only found this variation in the SS005 pattern. Very confusing.

Oops sorry Romy forgot to add my name. ::) ???
It's Bryn (not Brian)

Might be worth checking if IOW made these too.
romy:
Hi all! :) Thanks for such a great response! :-*
IOW have similar looking vases (at least, I think they're IOW), but they have gold leaf applied to the surface (the Azurene range...?). Mine is definitely identical to the SS005 on Frank's website and in Millers. Bryn, it's interesting what you say re. weight; it's a lot lighter than I was expecting. (Not that I have anything to compare it with!) Can I ask, did your unsigned ones have marks around the neck? They're really bothering me. Millers reckons these vases are worth around £30, but I don't think the quality of mine is right. I'll try and take some decent photos tomorrow, so you'll hopefully have a clearer idea of what I'm talking about.
romy:
Some photos, as promised. Hope they help, especially as it's taken me half the day to work out how to use the Glass Gallery! :-[ First two are general shots of the piece; the last two show the marks I'm fretting about.
