Title: Large Green Dartington Crystal Vase
Post by: petet63 on July 22, 2014, 04:17:15 PM

I have searched online for this vase and cannot find similar apart from the colour. Has anyone got any ideas about age and name of this one ?? 25.5cm in Height. Marked on the base. A little wear on the base. A shade under 2kg.

shape wise this is a dead ringer for one of the Belinda Hornsey designs, although I had thought those were made in amethyst and blue only.
See the left hand piece in the attached pic.  -  perhaps John will know more :)

part of the 'Intimates' collection 1997 - 98, according to CH  ....    I know we've had them on the Board previously.    Try a search and you'll see.
Can't see green in CH's book, but he says (page 352 - C20 Glass) produced in eight shapes (various sizes), and four colours.         Unfortunately, he doesn't show green, but can't think this could be anything else.

Eight shapes and four sizes, with a full set you would have your very own installation... ;D
