Title: Cranberry coloured glass vase - identification please if possible
Post by: heron on June 03, 2015, 06:41:04 PM

Can anyone help with identifying this cranberry coloured glass vase?
It is 9.5" (242mm) high  and weighs 1.6kg.
There are numerous very small bubbles and a trace of white which has been pulled over half way up from the base in four places.
The pontil is concave and polished with a diameter of 1.8" (47mm).
Thank you

Might be Stevens & Williams, got a bowl in a similar colour, ;D

I think that is a S&W shape, so would agree with Keith  :) But I'm no expert......

Or could it be Harry Powell for Whitefriars? not sure if the shape is the same.

Anyone else with more idea......

Link - I think vase on the left is the same as yours but no attribution - is the purple one on the right the same shape / maker?

Thanks for all your replies.  The bowl certainly looks to be the same colourway.
I would say that the vase on the left in the Woolley & Wallis sale is the same colourway but a different vase as appears to have white right up to the rim. The vase on the right is the same shape but as you say no attribution in this sale.
I got this vase at auction recently together with Monart-like vase and a Hartley Wood vase. They did attribute this vase as Stevens & Williams designed by Keith Murray but I was not convinced hence the ID request.
Thanks again - this may be my first piece of S&W. :D

It's certainly a vase from the same range; I think how far the white bits go up is irrelevant for hand-made glass. Interesting the only ID appears to be wrong and that the pink bowl and trailed blue vase probably are Whitefriars.

Hi Heron,

I knew I'd seen this shape recently!

I remember looking at this lot and I can't remember if the Monart-like one was actually Monart or not - please could you do a new post with a picture of it for me?

thanks  :)

Hi Orangeglass
 
As requested I have posted pictures of the Monart-like vase in a new topic in "Glass" titled "Monart style glass vase pink/red and white".

Hi
Thanks for the link in the last post.   It looks as though my vase is S&W and this type of vase has been discussed in detail before -  so apologies  for covering the same ground.   I have read all the way through and was very interested in the inter-relationships between the glass manufactures.    I hadn't realised that Nazeing did suncontract work for other glass makers.
I must revisit the excellent Nazeing Museum.
