Title: Green wide necked vase for id
Post by: yesvil on September 01, 2010, 07:38:34 PM

I found this one today - anyone recognise it?

I was thinking when I saw it that it may be Dartington but examining  it, it doesn't appear to be particularly well made and there are no markings of any kind.

It does shows a fair amount of base wear with a polished pontil mark.

That looks more like a carafe than a vase.  It's the kind of green I associate with Empoli but that's only a guess.   :)

That sounds conclusive enough - Thanks Ivo.
