Title: Uranium flower bowl/vase ID please.
Post by: Tinker-Taylor on October 30, 2009, 11:06:41 PM: Hello

It's 6" tall and 10½" wide, and is a blue-green colour. It's uranium (I was surprised to discover).

TIA
Stu.

Yes, I wasn't too sure about those pictures either. Hope these makes things a little easier.

Thanks,
Stu.

Help.

I can find nothing for Evelyn under Sowerby on Pamela's website, though I have found the name under the Bernsdorf heading. :huh: :) :)

Confused (quite easily),
Bristol.

Note that Pamela has the flower holder BOTH upside down AND not located properly on the inside ledge of the vase, something which is almost impossible to achieve. ;D

the shape is very similar to other Bernsdorf vases: Helvetia & Brittania
Thanks to Pamela for help on ID!

Post by: Tinker-Taylor on October 31, 2009, 07:09:08 PM: Well thank you all very much for your kind replies. Now it just comes down to what I sell it as. "Bernsdorf" or "probably Bernsdorf" ??

Stu.

Post by: dirk. on October 31, 2009, 07:13:16 PM: To me it´s an unidentified vase resembling the shape of some Bernsdorf
vases. Perhaps you should wait a while until someone recognises it precisely. :)

Miaow? Maybe you should be feeding them more.

I was thinking Czech in the night - the frog has a similar feel to a Rosice vase I had, and the green colour just makes me think Czech.

(Obviously, I realise my absurd "go with your feelings" method of glass ID isn't for everyone! :24:)
