Title: Yellow opalescent basket, wishbone handles. ID = Greener (probably)
Post by: SNJ on August 07, 2017, 04:38:04 PM

Just wondered if this is a piece of Davidson primrose Pearline - I can't seem to find the same one online. It has twig wishbone handles and a frieze of shield-shaped leaves around the rim and above the foot. No marks or reg. nos. Good uranium glow.

I have a funny feeling this isn't Davidson, but I can't remember who it might be. We need Lustrousstone's knowledge here. I'm sure she's told me what this is. I've just forgotten.

I would say Greener based on the similarities with this example...

Greener did use twigs, but I'm still not sure that's what this is.

It is Greener according to Dave Peterson's site.

Ok, I'm happy it is Greener.
I did trawl C's site in case she had a pic of the blue pearline basket I found that wasn't Davidson or Greener but "the" something else. The thing had a crack and went back to a charity shop. No pic.
I did however, find a Greener basket with feet like this one of the OP's. ;D

Many thanks for the replies. Good to have a positive attribution, although I might take the description of 'rare' on the vaseline website with a pinch of salt.

It's certainly not common!

Here's a blue 'pinched-in' version with wishbone handles, and a variant (also in blue) with a slightly different 'open'  body shape and  'crossed twig' handles. Both are unmarked.
