Title: Help ID Celery Vase Please
Post by: jomo99 on February 28, 2009, 03:47:26 PM

Hi Everyone,

                  Been a while since I posted, been off doing other things!LOL

   I wonder if anyone can help me ID this Vase? it stands 6.5 inches (165mm) high is 4.5 inches (115mm) across the top, weighs 1lb2oz (600g) and is a lovely golden amber with the word 'CELERY'  at the top

              TIA , John

 (sorry for the poor quality of the pics, my camera has died,so these are from my fone!)

Hi John
I will set the ball rolling.
The fact it is etched 'celery' gives some indications.
During the war years a ban was placed on the production of decorative glass items, in order to get round this some manufacturers would produce what was obviously a decorative item (im sure agree it looks more like a flower vase than a celery vase) and to get around the ban woudl etch celery on the vase, making it a domestic rather than decorative item.
On that basis its fair to say its English C1939-45
Actual maker....others may be able to help
Regards
Tyke

The colour seems good for Stuart, although I know colour isn't everything. Has it got a pontil mark?

Christine, there appears to be a very shallow indentation that can just be felt rather than seen, but this could just be where the foot and the body have been fixed together (sorry not too good on technical terms!)
