Title: Even more Royal Brierley for show !!

Only my second piece in yellow and a piece that may well have escaped the quality control ! wonky top and extra thick rim  :o ;D ;D

Does the second piece have the RB acid-stamp, Keith? Strange that one should have been released into the wild, but it could have been released as a second. Being so wonky it does make me wonder why it wasn't scrapped.

No mark to the base, there are remains of a label but it's to far gone to read, 99.9 % sure it's RB'y Studio, colour, shape etc... maybe it ' walked' out under someone's coat ?  ::) ;D

Now that is highly likely! I've come across some strange Chance glass - the suncatchers - that had stickers, so maybe the person who 'borrowed' this vase stuck some labels on as well.

The neck has certainly not been finished, half is still unpolished and there is a line showing, I presume, where the neck should have been cut back to.

Just as likely to have been sold through the factory shop as a second IMHO. Certainly they were selling seconds when I went there.

That could also explain a label, but no mark on the base.

Orresfors actually had a different label that they used for seconds - of course once that's gone we get this sort of problem  ???

Cheers, Nigel

Think you're probably right, although this might qualify as a 'third' instead of a 'second'  ::) ;D ;D
