Title: Hartley Wood vase, maybe ?
Post by: keith on February 14, 2016, 05:54:26 PM

8 inches tall, polished pontil mark and some wear, seen similar swirl pieces in the WF's book so could do with a little help on this one please, not mine my 'little' brother's  ::) ;D ;D

It does remind me of the way the swirls are done in the HW vases - mine is 1930 but does have a snapped off pontil mark.  I don't know how common a polished pontil mark is with them.  Maybe it's a more recent version - they did revive them I think?

Thanks for looking m, know very little about HW, they had a connection to Chance Brothers log ago I believe.

I'm not sure it's quite 'lumpy' enough for earlier Hartley Wood, and is probably too well finished - and I believe the 1980s revival stuff was all signed.

Thanks Pinkspoons, don't suppose any one thinks it may be one of those swirly White Friars pieces from the 30s ? ::)
