Glass / Could this studio vase be Australian?
« Last post by Auntiewainwright on June 13, 2025, 04:19:08 PM »
I would love to know who made this opalescent vase? It was bought in the UK. The signature is really hard to read, but is likely to be something like Penter, Pinter, Porter, Proctor..then the date 94. One suggestion is that it could be Australian, but I have been unable to find anything like it.

All suggestions welcome!

Thanks

Hello John, very interesting, not seen one of those before, strange shape, wonder how many of those they made ? Just about to post my latest find.

British & Irish Glass / Re: Greener fox covered sugar with grapes?!
« Last post by nicola on June 12, 2025, 10:06:17 PM »
Yes, me too! It was the one on eBay and it was curiosity about the lid that prompted me to get it even with the damage. I try to restrict (lol) my collection by concentrating on ‘anything with a lid’ so have the Davidson Cat and Dog (and the Inwald version too which is very gaudy) and Punch butter dish, but still missing the Sowerby monkey lidded sugar - although I do have everything else in the suite, one day - fingers crossed.
At least the mystery has been solved 🙌

The soot builds up on them instead of your room, being made of glass might be an advantage to clean. The shapes can vary, I have one that is fairly flat and could double as a big saucepan lid.

Rather an unusual find, well done.  ;D
I did know what it was, but have hardly ever seen any. I suspect not too many have survived.
