This is the kind of crackle effect that I love but rarely ever come across, so when I see even a small piece I have to buy it ;D This has a tiny chip right under the rim that can't be seen so I am happy with it. But where is it from? It has a snapped off pontil and a definite yellow glow but not uranium. So.... a little piece of studio, recent Eastern Europe or Far East? I don't think so, it just seems an older piece. What do you think? It is small probably 3" wide and about 2.5" high.
thanks

No idea if these pieces relate to my (now sold) little bowl but they are Fairy Lamps from Schreiben und Neffen with white over crackle:

I wonder if it was a leech pot? Looks like one anyway.

There has been much discussion on the board regarding leech pots if my memory serves me well :) Also discussion over white cased rough crackle vases at various times. In fact I might have posted the Schreiber und Neffen link elsewhere perhaps.
I was never sure if it ever was a leech pot. I thought it was really just a great shaped decorative item using a lovely technique to be honest. I don't have it anymore but I always wondered where it might have been made,so just adding this link above for future reference.

It occurred to me last night that these crackle wares are made in the same colours as the white over a single colour cameo perfume bottles and vases that are often attributed to Webb. Very tenuous admittedly, having had another look at Craigs examples of soft crackle on Kralik-glass.com they now look quite different (I wonder if those photos have been updated and improved in the intervening years).
This kind of thing:

The names I know which produce this sort of effect are Monart, WMF and Loetz.
But now I'm wondering if they didn't have the crizzled bits in white, with clear inbetween the white lines rather than white in the middle and clearer coloured crizzle.
I can't currently find my own Loetz Shaumglas but some is illustrated here.

I have a perfume bottle that I'm trying to ID so very interested in the thread. White metal collar.

That reminds me of a green bird shaped perfume bottle I have Suzy. I think I was investigating whether it was by
Stuart ?someone I was told it was bought at the glass museum in the 80's and it might be Iestyn Davies. who the previous owner said she may have bought it from when at the glass workshop at the Broadfield house museum? (think it was?) Think that was the story previous owner gave me from memory anyway.
I'll look up the perfume bottle and link it in a sec.
Something about the glossy sheen on yours is like the green one I thought - as though finished in a similar way if you like?

Interesting observation John.

Fieldings are describing these as Stevens and Williams Arabesque:

No idea of the veracity of that attribution.

good spot.
The S&W books are out there. There has been a huge long discussion on the board regarding S&W Arabesque/Arboresque (embarrassed).
I wonder whether they had it verified from one of the pattern books?
Here's a link to that very long discussion

The next posts show fairy lamps in a crackle in those colours from Schreiber & Neffen so worth reading the thread :) yikes.
