I don't know. It's Christine's own site.
Perhaps, if this image is not currently publicly available, she will be kind enough to make it so?  :)

Sue, you've used the link in the top bar not the link under the picture

Otis you are unlikely to find a maker; Thomas Webb was a factory and the maker would be whoever was on the shift that item was made. The mark has a 15 year range, or thereabouts, just for a start, and each shift probably several blowers.

The style is the style of the designer and these vases were blown into moulds before a bit of hand shaping to a specific finished design.

Thanks Christine,   It's a shame these pieces were not signed by the actual maker.   

Your probably right Christine and quite aware that a maker will sometimes never be found, however, it is important, as GMB members, that we make every effort  in striving to seek (not get) answers.   There is no infringement or detriment relating to the subject matter that is in question, especially when taking into consideration the age of a piece.   They said that man will never get to the moon, but he got there somehow.  ::)  ;D.  Thank you, so far, as yours and other attributions, have certainly helped me achieve a better understanding on the issues related to certain glass pieces. :)

Oh! your links do not work.  I have tried several times.

They work for me. You could try clicking on the link to Christine's "My Gallery", under all her posts, then search for Webb after entering the site by clicking on the image. It's on page 3 of the results.

Hi Sue,  the links are working fine now.   I tried several times, before and both links were broken.  All the same, I appreciate your help and thanks for the  links Christine.  Very nice indeed! :)
