Title: Is this Stevens and Williams?
Post by: Istenno on February 23, 2009, 04:13:42 PM

Hi there, I picked this up the other day, I think it may be Stevens and Williams but not sure. Could anyone help me out identifying it? it is 8" tall and ribbed up the sides. It has pinky/purple and green colours spiralling up from the base, with a ground polished pontil.
Thanks.

Thank you. Any idea of the value by any chance?  :)

You will find few, if any, willing to estimate "value", whatever that means, here.   It's the fastest way of getting it wrong known to mankind!

However, blue/green is the best known colour combination in S&W/Royal Brierley's Rainbow range.   Green/ruby is less frequently met.   Other colour combinations, including some three way combinations, are more scarce.
