The shape seems to be 8886 - but in the W/Fs.com catalogues I can only find this shape in ribbon trailed. Seems these 3 horizontal internal ribbed things may have been a little thin on the ground to start with. This one is 8" tall, and unfortunately some water staining which I think is going to be stubborn to move. I don't see this in Leslie Jackson - is it shown in the other book, and do I just call it '8886 with internal optic horizontal ribbing'. thanks for looking. :)

It's not Whitefriars - this colour isn't one of theirs, especially when cased in clear.
Stevens & Williams might be a possibility, or it might be something more contemporary.

Yep not W/Fs

Got one similar Paul,I thought it might have been WF's(told otherwise) did wonder about S&W's.

The WF's 8886 ribbon trailed vase isn't anywhere near as flared at the top as yours is Paul. Quite different in shape really http://www.pips-trip.co.uk/sold-glass-archives/british-glass-1/showitem-WFRUBY-TRAILBP.aspx

ohhhh......bums - thought I might have been right this time. ahh well, another learning curve I guess. On reflection, the blue is far to OTT, but what really put me on the wrong track are the three internal horizontally opticaly moulded ridges. There is quite a lot of base wear in fact, enough to put it back into the forties or fifties quite possibly - and the pointil is such a beautifully circular polished shape. Thanks to all for your help - I wonder if Nigel Benson might be able to offer some advice. :)
