Title: Powell flower vase?
Post by: bat20 on December 10, 2019, 08:14:09 AM
Hi,I found this piece on eBay and thought it was the right colour for whitefriars Powell glass,It's 23.5 cm in ht,very light with a nice brittle ring .The Pontil is central and it's mould blown with faint horizontal lines,which I couldn't see from the photo I saw before pushing the button,it was advertised as retro vintage but I wonder if it may nit be turn of the century?..any help very welcome thanks.

Not sure of the age, it reminded me of this piece which is marked Stuart, I'd have to look up the mark to put an age to it. This is also quite thin with a polished pontil mark.

No folded rim on mine, the mark was used from 1926, how far after that I couldn't say. This piece is pretty much the same shape as yours...
