Wasn't sure about this one at first it looked a bit like Heron glass but on closer inspection I'm sure now, dimensions match other similar vases but this one has an odd 'crease' down the side, fault during moulding maybe?
-
Gorgeous colours - bet it looks lovely in the sunshine :D
Make sure those shelves are strong enough! ;)
-
Thanks Roberta, in fact I've just re-inforced all the shelves the RB'y collection is on ! ;D ;D
-
The strong colours don't suggest Heron to me, I'm with you on this being a (very lovely!) bit of RB. :)
-
Thanks Sue, I can't believe how many shapes and colours they produced, off to the archives again soon, maybe one day I'll find out ! ::) ;D ;D

Hi ,i have only recently realized that there is an interest in this glass, i used to do a little electrical work at the Tipton factory in the late eighties, and there was a factory shop on site where i used to purchase pieces, some seconds , every time i went there, so i have ended up with about 20 pieces . The one desribed with a fold in it is the same as one i have ,also with a small fold in it, only white in colour. I remember lots of colours available , from almost clear to deep blue .almost black. I got so taken by the style that i even to take my other half and our daughter there to chose pieces now and again . These Studio pieces were made in molds , i know this as i saw this being done as i worked on the ovens/kilns being used, and also the lighting section in the same factory. I also had family and friends at the time who worked at the factory.

Thank-you so much for joining in and giving us some more input - I'm sure Keith will have a lot of questions for you. You must have a wealth of interesting info from your time there!
Welcome! :)

Sue is right, I've been researching RB'y Studio for about 2 years now with little success any information you might have, however small, would be of interest to me. I now have 101 pieces soon to be 102 ::) so collecting is now an obsession, oh and welcome, here's a few pieces..... ;D ;D ;D ;D

Hello Keith, third shelf down in the middle the vase with a pink and gold fleck, there is a different coloured version in the Staffie charity shop Cradely Heath high street for a fiver, it's got a chip in the rim, it was there Saturday. It's not signed. It's around the corner in the second part of the shop.

Thanks Chris, I'll try and get over there asap ! ;D ;D
-
Oooh look what I got, ta Chris, only £2 must have been in a sale ! ;D ;D ;D
-
I take it it is what it is then?, nice iridescence on the base. bargain price.
-
Yep, Royal Brierley Studio same shape as this one only with aventurine as in the second picture, ;D ;D ;D
-
Will keep my eye out for more now i can see the variety of shapes in your pics.
-
Thanks Chris, let me know if there is anything particular you are looking for and I'll do the same, here's another shape.... ;D
-
Well Keith i collect everything, but i do like decorative Victorian glass especially reheated uranium glass, really thick cut overlay glass and unusual pressed glass shapes, i keep these Murano facet bowls when ever i find them and any good signed studio glass i come across.
Here are the things i have called my own this month so far.

I need the white frosted vase with the green trailed prunts on it - it belongs with my iridescent one with amber and red prunts ;D
but more seriously ... did you buy that in the Midlands? I think these are possibly an English maker.

The base on the frosted one is identical to two Stuart peacock trail vases I have. I know there by Stuart as there are two identical ones in the Stuart cone, I thought it might be a hyacinth but the internal diameter seems a bit wide, from eBay that one not sure wear abouts, I've got 16 trailed vases now but only six not stored away, I think I put them on here a while ago.
