Powells or Somebody Else

ginfor:
This vase is a transparent mint green with wide panel optic and with opalescence in the panels and swirling a bit through the rest of the vase. Height is about 12 inches and the pontil is unfinished.  It's a uranium formula. The previous owner thought maybe Powell or another English company.

Pontil picture might let out Powell, but it is not clear, can you do a closer shot at a lower angle please.

ginfor:
Frank,

I'll reshoot the pontil tomorrow when I've got light. What are we looking to see or not see to eliminate Powell?

Thanks.
Forrest

Here's a detail of the pontil.  Considering the number of looks so far with almost no  opinions given, an attribution is looking problematic.

Hi,

Don't take the number of views as any indication, it only takes one who recognises this to ID it. A lot of the more experienced in older glass are on holiday still.

The close confirms that the scar is much messier than I have seen on any Powell and I am not familiar with opaque ware from them. Looking through some books Richardson's popped up as a contender, but not an area I know well. Give it time.
