Title: Stourbridge pot?
Post by: SNJ on August 24, 2016, 06:15:23 PM: Evening all,

Is this a Stourbridge pot, by any chance? The colours are stronger in the flesh than the photos would suggest: light pink interior cased by pale custard yellow exterior which glows strongly under a blacklight. Polished slightly concave base with slight scar. Lots of wear to foot ring. Approx 8cm tall. Makes me crave rhubarb and custard for some reason ::). Any opinions would be appreciated.

Here's a Webb Burmese vase for comparison:

Sorry not to reply sooner. I don't think that the pink glows too - it turns a vivid purple but it looks as though that's just the blue (black) light reflected. Plus it must be a very thin pink layer as, when the blacklight is shone from beneath, the pink simply disappears in front of the uranium's green glow.
