Well finished with polished pontil mark around 7 inches high, can't find my tape ! any help gratefully received, ;D ;D
-
Been a while now, any ideas ??? ;D ;D
-
picture of the base? how large is the pontil mark?
Does it match an S&W shape? think I may have seen a 'Rainbow' vase in that shape maybe.
I've a funny feeling that pull up threading has been on here before in blue. Did Whitefriars do something like that?
I wouldn't describe it as ribbed but as pulled trails perhaps. Or feathered.

Hello M, it has a large polished pontil mark, the vertical ribs can just be made out through touch same for the 'feather' trailing, similar shape to some S& W's pieces I've seen, the only difference is this is quite light in weight, ;D
-
Gray-Stan?
I'll have a quick look later and see if I can match.
Pontil mark doesn't sound right though but they did that design I think.

this must have been what I was thinking of
it's a Whitefriars Barnaby Powell blue threaded on sea green bowl, ribbed, and with a dark blue rim fading to sea green at the bottom.
If yours is a Whitefriars then you will need someone else to help as I know nothing :) (I hope you do and I hope it's very rare :))
If not, then terribly sorry as I couldn't find anything under Gray-Stan and couldn't find an S&W 'Rainbow' shape to match unfortunately (although I'm sure I've seen a footed version). Gray--Stan did do a threaded pull up as well but I've not seen that colour and couldn't find a match for the shape and design.

Thanks again m, I did look at Gray Stan but will now check out WF's, ta, ;D ;D
-
This is a blue on green vase Whitefriars threaded so you can see the comparison a little more

That looks very similar, thanks again M, ;D ;D
-
I did look at this when you first posted - I had seen one quite a while ago and couldn't find the maker then.
All I can add is I spent quite a while looking and though it was similar to Whitefriars / Powell / S&W stuff - I couldn't find an exact match to the shape and pattern :(
I kept hoping someone would come along and tell us who it was by!!
-
Thanks Roberta, I might try the WF's site, if I can remember my password ::) ;D ;D
-
Just had a confirmation on this as WF's pattern 8871 c.1930s red on flint, ;D ;D
-
glad to see my memory's still working ;D
Well done. Pretty vase.

;D ;D,

Hurray! ;D ;D
must try and remember for the next one I see (in about 5 years time and won't have a clue by then.......!)
-
I've been trying to remember where I got it, gone completely out of my head ::) ;D ;D
-
Keith,
I would confirm it as Whitefriars, pattern 8871, ruby threaded and tinted on flint, see a similar from my collection.
Also made with blue and amber, sometimes threaded only on flint, sometimes threaded on tinted, as per attached photo.

Thanks Steve, wish I could remember where I had it from. ::) ;D
