Hi all,
I wonder if anyone can shed any light on this little owl vase please? I found it at a car boot sale and thought it was really cute but no idea who made it?
There is a ground and polished pontil to the base and is iridised to the outside. The base colour of the glass is a deep green/blue.
The height is 6.5 cms approx.
The lady I bought it from stated that it could be Austrian but thought it was very old.
Many thanks to all in anticipation. :)

Could it be English Webb Bronze? I am not sure if the Bronze ranges are fully mapped, someone may be able to help more... perhaps a Webb bronze owl could be a rare breed...

I'd go with Webbs, what is the actual colour of the glass ? ;D

Hi,
Many thanks for your replies!
The base colour of the vase is a deep green and the outside colour of the vase varies from a bronzy colour to maroon and then depending where the light hits the vase it turns into a green or gold.
It is a very cute little thing!

Seeing as it's green I'd say Webb, in my opinion that is, ::) ;D ;D
