Title: James Powell - Identification
Post by: Beege on April 26, 2018, 06:18:31 PM

Good evening all.
I recently purchase a delightful pair of vases attributed to James Powell. As I remain a beginning in most things glass, I wondered whether you fine folk may help me to confirm, or not, this attribution and perhaps describe how one identifies glass by James Powell.
Please see images: vases are approximately 18cm tall and 8cm diameter at the top and bottom.
Thank you for any help you can offer.

Hi
I can't tell you if they are, or are not James Powell pieces, but there are catalogues that you can look through
http://www.whitefriarsorg.co.uk/whitefriars-catalogues.php
Good luck  ;)

Thank you John. I shall look at some Stuart examples to see whether I can identify any similarities.

Della, so far I haven't identified the specific shape in Whitefriar's catalogues...I I shall persist.

For either Powell, or Stuart I have always had a look at google images ,this may give you an idea of the different styles of these glasshouses.
Good luck,
Tim
