Inwald or Hortensja? Whodunnit?

Glen:
Sue - yes it is described wrongly as "Pinwheel". Most Carnival collectors would refer to it as the contemporary "Ohio Star" vase by Smith.

L. E. Smith simply referred to it as their #409 nine inch vase! According to Rose Presznick (writing in the early 1970s) it is an old McKee mould. However, the pattern is almost identical to a Millersburg carnival vase called "Ohio Star".

Glen:
I've added a page to the Diamond Cut feature that includes some archive ads from the British Pottery Gazette and also some from Oz.

Many thanks to Cathy B for her input and help.

Anne:
Wow Glen, thank you, more fascinating research here. I'm late coming to read this thread as I've been catching up with other stuff and dipping in and out of the board, but this thread needed more than a fleeting visit to take it all in. As the owner of  a (non-Carnival) Sowerby Derby dish I am amazed at the similarities in these patterns - and I'm going to recheck my bowl now just to make sure it really is Sowerby! ;)

Thank you again.  8)

Pip:
Just wanted to add my praise to the pile - even though this isn't my area of collecting I can appreciate the tremendous work that's gone into it - brilliant!  Congratulations Glen  ;)

Glen:
Pip and Anne - I just want to say thank you.
