Hi, wondering whether this is one of Nazeing’s early versions - there seems to have been quite a few
makers making essentially the same sort of thing at the time ( 1930s ? )
Heavily cased on the outside, thin casing on the inside ( you can feel the decoration)
Broken pontil mark, heavy base wear.
The green looks as if it’s greyish in places - not surface dirt - I’ve given it a good wash!
Ht 13cm - 5”
Wt 535 gm
Any thoughts appreciated, many thanks for looking :)

Very nice item. If the middle of the base rises into the vase maybe Hartley Wood might be a consideration.
Good luck with your search,

Forget that, have a look at nazeing glass vases on google images I am sure yours is on there.

Hi Tim,
When I first saw it I thought it might be Hartley Wood - although the base is concave it’s not as
pronounced as the HW ones and also it’s not wonky enough!
I’m also pretty sure it’s Nazeing but I wouldn’t mind finding out how old it is ::)
Many thanks for your help

Charles Hajdamach book 20th century british glass, it says that in the thirties Nazeing had a small catalogue of seven pages.
After the second world war art glass production was recorded in a set of working drawings.
Have you seen the black and white photos from the 1930s?
They did have a bubbly range from this time but it notes that the bubbles can be felt on the inside.
Hope this is of some help.

Hi,
Unfortunately I haven’t got H’s book, but you can certainly feel the random bubbles on its inside
surface.
Hopefully you’ll be able to see the seeds/bubbles in the glass (base and body) - there are also quite
a few impurities visible ( minute black specks)
Its top is also slightly oval in shape and it has quite thick walls—not sure how relevant this is!
If it is a Nazeing piece, and that’s a big if, I suppose it could possibly be an early one!
Anyway, many thanks for your input— much appreciated.

Hi,
This is the best match I’ve been able to find on Google Images in terms of its colour, rim, decoration
and pontil mark.

So yet another joins the ranks of the ‘ Nazeing 1930s Possibles ‘ ! :)

This too is thought to be Nazeing (thanks to Nigel for steering me in the right direction ) . The similarities are quite remarkable with the tiny bubbles and the look of the base .
It's 6 inches tall which matches the height of one of the four cylinder vase sizes mentioned here in the black and white photo .

Hi,
The similarities are certainly there, although their patterns and sizes are different.
Of course the other names that crossed my mind when I was researching were Clutha, Monart and
Whitefriars, but no, I reckon mine like yours, is also a Nazeing—at least I hope it is :)
I have to say it’s one of my favourite pieces..........

Yes yours looks like the example from Scottish Antiques with a very similar style of decoration . I thought mine was early Isle of Wight .......but I was entirely mistaken !!
I think ours are both Nazeing given the evidence ! Here's a better pic of the base on mine .....

P.s. mine is 3 inches in diameter at the base area and about 8.5 cm at the rim .
