Topic: Deco black glass fluted vases - ID = Davidson

[oyemicanto]

Hello everyone
I bought this pair of Art Deco black glass vases today at a local boot fair.
I have never seen anything like this before and have no clue as to maker?
Has anyone ever seen these vases before and I just wondered if anyone knew who made them please?
Thanks in advance

I would say Davidson

Hi Dinklepip
Thanks for your reply...I'm not an expert on Davidsons,the only thing I recognise of theirs is the cloud glass?
Did they do a range in black glass?
I bought them as I thought how unusual in black and they would look fab in my black and white bathroom lol

Looks like Davidson to me too, pattern 51, yep they did black glass:

Hi Wayne
Ah yes there they are! I have never seen any davidsons catalogues and there's a vase there with frog that I have seen in green at a local centre so that's another mystery solved!
Thanks so much for showing me that!

yes I believe they did, I did have two Jadeite vases in the same pattern

Thanks so much both of you for your input!
