Title: I.D. please for blue vase
Post by: Paul S. on July 28, 2009, 06:59:45 PM

Haven't really got anywhere with this one  -  but originally thought possibly Dartington ish  -  but having looked thru the book, believe not.    Star moulded base  -  15cms. tall and about 8cms. wide.  Poorly made in the sense that it is mis-shapen, but one of my favourite colours, and rather appealing in an abstract way.  The body shows three seam lines.    Grateful for any interest or attribution please.    Paul S.

Thanks Roy  -  I think that the rather modern abstract pattern made me think of a more recent manufacturing date.   However, the base does have a typically older look.  Perhaps a spill vase even??   -   Paul S.
