Title: Elongated square textured vase for id
Post by: yesvil on January 24, 2011, 08:08:30 PM: Any clues on this one for me?

It's 140 mm tall, textured on the outside with an asymmetrical inner cavity. The rim is nicely bevelled on the inside and it has a nice feel about it ~Adam

Thanks Lustrousstone, perhaps one I should have recognised by now - but not :-[

Well, now I know what they are I'll keep my eye out too.

It's one of those, but shorter - just under 4" tall.

Post by: glassobsessed on January 25, 2011, 05:26:09 PM: I have had just had a look in the book (Dartington Glass The first Twenty Years) and there are five (not 4) items with this fine stippled texture. Four 'textured flower boxes' (or vases ;D) FT191/2/3/4 and the textured candleholder FT195.
Sue, I think yours is square if I remember correctly and so at that height will be FT192, FT191 is wider than it is deep and is more of a 'trough'. FT195, the candleholder is the same basic shape as this bunch (http://picasaweb.google.com/Johnmj100/MiscellaneousGlass#5534280778980233858) but smaller in size and with the same textured as the flower boxes.

(something to which I aspire as well!)
It's definitely a garlic holder, not a candleholder.
