Title: Glass lily vase
Post by: oyemicanto on May 24, 2015, 08:11:19 AM

Hello all
This isnt my area of expertise so thought someone could point me in the right direction?
I purchased this vase yesterday at a local carboot and couldnt resist it.It was on a stall along with an amber Brockwitz ear lobe bowl which I grabbed straight away but then saw this vase and decided I liked it.
When I got home I decided to try my UV light on it and it glows well.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks

I was struggling to get there - peering at the small pics, but I do agree, Keith.
Webb's Gay Glass; Sunshine Amber; waterlily cut, a very unusual shape too.
Lucky you, Nigel.  :)

Yes. (Well, English to be absolutely specific.).
A good name and from a very desirable range, introduced in 1933.

It was £25 so thought that wasn't a bad price.Its not my thing as I prefer Walther Deco glass but thought it was so striking

You got a bargain. I hope you enjoy it every bit as much as your Walther. :)

What a fantastic find.....must try to go to more carboots  :o I bet it has a Webbs mark to the base but you might have to look very hard if it is worn .

Yes it does have a webb mark on base Ive just looked and its definitely there.I never saw it before as the light was difficult to see it in
