Title: Castle Shaped Clear Vase?
Post by: Otis Orlando on February 19, 2010, 07:41:21 PM

This Vase was purchased from a Charity shop in Catford.  The vase measures 17.5cm in height.  The top dia. 13cm dia.  The vase is supported by four legs that are 2 cm thick and then tapers as it meets toward the vase body itself.  There are four lines running from top to bottom of the vase and equally spaced. There are a few small bubbles within the vase.  The vase is quite heavy considering it's size.  I have searched but unable to identify this particular piece.  Can anyone assist. by providing the originator and age.  Many thanks!

Looks like a Sowerby F 2583 vase Otis, I have one in uranium green and one in amber. Green one here for comparison: http://yobunny.org.uk/gallery1/displayimage.php?pos=-536

Hi Ann, thanks for you info.  It certainly does look like the one I have posted.  The only difference is the pattern near to the top of the vase is different.  I have looked at other sites but still unable to find one with the same pattern.  From the look of the picture you have suggested I would say it is definately Sowerby.  Would you know how old they are?

I think yours looks slightly different to Anne's because it is quite a lot larger.

Do you think it still would be Sowerby Christine as Anne has suggested?

No, I think it's the same size... 17cm translates roughly to 7", which is the height of the F2583. Maybe the difference Christine sees is the perspective - Anne's vase is photographed more side on, whereas Otis' is more from the top.  :huh:
