I wanted to find out about these myself, but I've had no joy. I can't even find anything terribly similar really. :'(
They're 30cm tall, and a pair I guess, as I found them together and they're so similar although not identical. Satin finish, all vaseline/uranium body with a pearline top. There's no real irridescence, although it does look a little like it in some lights. Small, neat concave pontil mark to base, no other identification there.
I toyed with the idea of Rinsdkopf and Loetz (alright! Way off the mark I expect!) and although I did find something slightly vaguely similar on Mike Moir's site, it was too much of an obscure (for me) designer for me to track down.
Are they simply Stourbridge-type Victorian vases? Or something else? Then don't seem typical... :P
Note: I am skint at the moment, so could be selling these. :-\ There will be the usual 'Big thanks to the Glass Message Board' if I list them. :angel:
Edit: Both vases have dimples, only one is less pronounced.

I think Powell is a good possibility. They look like nice Stourbridge straw opal to me.

Thanks Mr Vaseline Glass. :)
It'd be nice if they were Powell, but I'm not sure about the satin finish...definitely worth a heads up for me though and I'll check it out, thank you. I suppose if that doesn't work out, then it might have to be Strourbridge area generally. :)

I dont think they are Powell they didnt use that finish,but they sure are nice,they look very tactile and great shape,a possibility is Webb.
