Hello there i can not find anything on this vase, i think it's by Thomas Webb at a guess 1920's, it has a good ring to it and wear to the base, a flat bottom no pontil but a swirl in the centre of the base.
It's 9 1/2 inches in height, 4 3/4 inches across the rim and 3 5/8th inches across the base.
Any help welcome regards Chris.

Could also be Stuart, nice green, ;D

Do you think the date is about right Keith?, i'm thinking i will probably never know either way who made it.
-
Chris - have you looked on Pamela's sites for a possible match? This one doesn't speak 1920's to me - just my opinion, but I'd suggest a couple of decades later, or getting on for that.
Assume this one doesn't glow. Stuart, it seems, never used uranium, although T/Webb did. This doesn't have the looks of a Gay Glass design - but Christine is good at those things - what does she think.

As Paul said it might be a bit later it's difficult to tell sometimes a good example would be me yesterday when I saw what was being sold as an Art Deco vase and thought it was a piece of modern repro until earlier this morning reading 20th Century B .Glass,page 192,top right is a Jobling vase from the 1930's, still don't like it though, ::) ;D ;D

No it does not glow Paul, whats the Web address for Pam's site? please. It's really growing on me this one, it lovely thing to look at.

I assume this is a pressed piece - you might look for any seams.
Always worth having a look, especially the first link, and particularly if you've not been to either before - real treat in terms of the variety of pressed glass. You may well not find it in either, but always worth eliminating them.

It's not a Gay Glass colour, far less shape, so if it's Webb, it's not from that range. :)
-
This looks like blown glass i can not see any seams.
-
or mould blown it's too uneven for pressed glass. There are a lot of runs in the glass mostly on the inner surface and the rim looks very uneven unless it pressed into a mould to look like it?
-
not so sure I've heard of 'runs in the glass' before - but just possibly these marks are caused by flaws in the mould, or maybe uneven cooling (annealing) in a mould.
Believe they're referred to sometimes as 'straw marks' - which of course they aren't
Must admit that pressed isn't my area these days - am sure someone here will know the real answer. :)

Pam's web site is great, recognised a few things already.
