The shape is not one I recognise (i.e. not in the Monart catalogue) but the colourway looks like the Monart colour code 185 of blue and black/gold aventurne. A picture of the pontil would be a help in identifing the maker of the vase.

There are 'grecian' handles on a small frilled vase - shape Q, but I could find nothing in the Parkington or Turner sale catalogues....

Eek!! Looks like one for Frank :D

Post by: Gary on April 17, 2009, 01:08:46 PM: At the risk of repeating myself a picture of the pontil would be a great help, as Monart and Vasart glass both have a very distinctive pontil mark and usually can be identified by the pontil mark.

Certainly, looks interesting. The top looks like it is very non Monart (ignoring handles) but will look forward to seeing more detail once you get hold of it.
