Possible Isle of Wight?

Hannah Cramp:
Hello,
This is a pretty vase i picked up at a car boot in the summer and i thought at the time that it might be Isle of Wight cylinder vase. I've done some research and now i am unsure. The base of this vase has the mottled pattern going over it and from the research i've done it seems that IOW ones have a smooth polished base.
This piece is 11" high and 2.5" wide. The glass seems to be clear and the colours are over-laid.
Anyone have a definative idea of the make?
Many thanks,
Hannah

I'm afraid I don't know an awful lot about Isle of Wight glass and I've had a quick check through the Mark Hill book with no luck, however Ron from Artius Glass will know - hopefully he'll see your posting.  Just a thought though, have you looked at Gozo Glass - I've mistaken GG for IOW before (considering both glasshouses were founded by Michael Harris I guess it's inevitable there will be some similarities).

 ;D

It does look like "Meadow Garden".

Unless it has either a green or pink band around the top rim? If it does, it might be "Pine Kyoto".

edited to add:- "Yes, it looks like Isle of Wight Studio Glass to me!" :-[

Pip:
 ;D gosh I should have said 'Ron from Artius Glass or our Sue will know'  ;D

Hannah Cramp:
Thanks Sue,
There's no coloured rim so i guess it's the later.
I'll check out 'meadow garden' on the IOW website to compare.
Pip - i didn't realise that Gozo glass was founded by Micheal Harris so thanks for that snippet too!
Han
