Title: Heavy paneled starcut base
Post by: Sue C on March 18, 2008, 04:42:16 PM

Hi, anyone recognise this heavy vase? the panel's/windows give a strange optical effect.

Looks like Inwald's 'Lord' pattern, also known as Jacobean. Marcus or Glen may be able to add more.

Hello Sue,

Why the but? I don't see anything too unusual about this piece. Inwald certainly made this shape vase. I don't know whether or not Davidson produced a version.

It does look like Inwald's Jacobean (Lord). But I can't be absolutely sure from the photos. I have posted a catalogue image on this page, it may help you, Sue.

Yes, you are both right, i think what threw me was one side of the vase was smoother than all of the rest of the vase and it gave it a very odd appearance, when i looked at it in daylight it was obvious.

Well it is now in pieces!! as i took it out onto the patio and the dog spotted a squirrel, i ended up flat on my toosh!! and the vase kissed the ground.

the lesson learned ? leave the dog indoors when looking at glass outdoors  ::)

Oh Sue, oh NO. Oh that's such a shame. But the main thing is, are YOU alright? Did you hurt yourself?

Yes i'm alright Glen, the dog thought it was a game, i had more trouble trying to keep him away from the glass, so it was a quick dash indoors and put the dog away  :ac1:

Apolgies to the mods for wibbling, but the welfare of members is important  :)

I'm glad you're OK Sue, but very sorry about the glass.
It must be catching, as I managed to smash a bottle of whisky on the kitchen floor today while cooking spaghetti bolognese (like you do...  not  ::))

Awww Sue, are you sure you're OK? It won't have done your back any good. :hug:

Glen, can I come share your spagbol if it has whisky in it?!  >:D

Anne, if only.....sigh! I went into a cupboard to get out some herbs for the spagbol and knocked the bottle of whisky. Smash. Crash!

Although, I admit to having used a dash of whisky in some previous spagbols that I've made. Some years back we visited the Wild Turkey distillery in Kentucky. At the end of the tour they gave us tastes of food made using their bourbon. They did choc brownies and a spicy meaty sauce like a bolognese sauce. It really is good with whisky of any sort added (a tablespoon or so). But sadly, my whisky yesterday went all over the floor  :'(
