Title: Uranium jack-in-the-pulpit vase
Post by: SNJ on August 07, 2017, 04:55:26 PM

Would anyone care to suggest a maker or country of origin for this uranium vase, please? Faintly ribbed cylindrical with applied spiral decoration and opalescent top. Ugly pedestal foot which seems to me a little incongruous with the rest. 9" tall.

Typical late Victorian 1890-1900 flower vase, i have one in blue, clear and yellow uranium could be local Stourbridge as i have found all three at boots or local fairs, very Burtles and Tate looking, i'm thinking at this time in space impossible to tell, a popular pattern when made i would have thought as i have also seen a few others at shows.

The fourth and fifth to the right and Burtles and Tate.

Thanks, Chris - the perennial problem of identification.

The blue piece looks ever so familiar! (Hint, I sold it to you a couple of months back  :) )

Yes I have another in uranium, putting them all together the three in the middle are identical apart from the shape, I would put money on the other  centre two being Burtles  and Tate but only the taller and the blue one have an Rd number.

Same colour same finish.

Unpacking another box today and came across this pair same as the op must be made by the same company, strange though, a horseshoe gadget on the upper foot no base sheer mark, rough or polished pontil just a smooth dome.

same as the tall vase rd 21329
