Title: Pair of Very Rare Stourbridge Carnival Glass Tornado Uranium Vases
Post by: mhgcgolfclub on May 13, 2015, 07:35:46 PM

For show an extremely rare pair of Stourbridge Carnival glass tornado vases .

The vases date to c1909 and some people attribute them to Thomos Webb of Stourbridge but cannot confirmed. The vases have a pontil mark to base.

The applied tornados and base are uranium glass.

Height 7.25" or 18.5cm

Yes inches I have corrected the height. I am not sure if they were competing with Loetz but they are very high on the list of Carnival glass collectors. I am not sure if there is any connection with Harry Northwood who was working in the Stourbridge area at the time just before moving to the USA and starting the Northwood Carnival glass.

For anyone not already aware, Glen (Board member) has a page on "Tornado Carnival (http://www.carnivalglassworldwide.com/tornado-vases.html)" which shows the shape of Roy's vases among other variations.
