Title: Sowerby? uranium vase - ID = Sowerby T.2624 rose bowl
Post by: Lustrousstone on April 27, 2009, 08:35:53 PM

This slightly wacky uranium glass vase has a Sowerby flower block, which has been in it for a long while, and the right Sowerby colour. It also has a milled foot, which can be seen on one other vase, but I can't find it in the catalogues. Is it or isn't it please? The picture with the vase and block separately show the underside of the block

I know but it had already got to page 3 without comment and it does have a Sowerby frog because I've got another one to compare it to

Yeah the board's been a bit busy hasn't it!   I've never seen this vase anywhere else so it's maybe not a common one?  Did you check all three of Glen's Sowerby CD's?

Yes, but I know there are other Sowerby catalogues with different stuff because the Dora vase doesn't appear in Glen's CDs

Hi I also have this vase and I bought it from a glass fair as Sowerby about 5 years ago.

It would have come out of the mould globe-shaped. Wonder whether they also sold them cupped (like Equinox). Maybe it appears that way in a catalogue somewhere? Who knows.  :rn:

Just adding that Adam D. says of this bowl in another thread:

Also sorry your bowl/vase is nothing like I ever saw at Sowerbys (or Davidsons).

Anyone else have any clues now?

That'd be Adam D not Adam A wouldn't it Cathy?

Now confirmed as Sowerby T.2624 rose bowl on p.9 of the Sowerby 1940 catalogue (Illustrated List 33) available from Mike Tomlin's site: http://www.victorianpressedglass.com/pdf/sowerby/sowerby_1940.pdf
