Title: Mottled Glass Vase/Bowl
Post by: RoyJ99 on April 12, 2014, 03:42:59 PM: Well not sure what to say about this, don't like the colour one bit but was at a jumble sale today and it only cost 50p and I find it hard not to buy anything at 50p. Seems to have a fair bit of wear to the base and a polished pontil. Measures 21cm x 5cm and has a beautiful ring when pinged.

Any ideas of origin?

Thanks

Roy

I love the colour ;D is it really that bright?
Can you enlarge your photos a bit or do a close up of the bubbles in the vase please as that might help determine maker?

Are you thinking possibly Nazeing M ?
Could we have a side on view as well please.
I must admit I probably would have bought it for 50p, I did see a blue Nazeing / Elwell one the other day for £2 and I resisted!

Post by: orangeglass on April 12, 2014, 06:19:17 PM: Yes, I think it was S&W also did a range for Elwell - I suspect it could be S&W because of the polished pontil - please fell free to disagree with me though! ;D

Post by: orangeglass on April 12, 2014, 07:57:59 PM: Okay, yours has a different base shape, more curvy, mine are straighter or shape outwards towards the base.
I've just found one of mine with a similar shape base to yours which has a ground out circular pontil mark but not polished, it's lighter than my others which I am pretty certain are Nazeing / Elwell.
How heavy does yours seem?
The problem with these bowls is the more you come across the more variety of shapes and sizes you see, bit I haven't seen one in your colour before. In all honesty its probably going to be difficult to give it a positive attribution!
you could have a look here http://www.ysartglass.com/Otherglass/Nazeing/NazeingG01.htm to see if you can spot one like yours!

I have had a look and seen a couple that look similar, different colours, although I have found S&W examples that look similar also. Trouble is many of the sites don't have pictures of the base etc so I'll just keep searching and hope for the best.
