Hi,
Haven't replied before as only got back from my hols at midnight last night with a 5 hour delay.
What you have are two pieces of Okra and the design is Pink Charlock.
1. I cant date them exactly as the design was one that Richard made off & on for quite a few years. The earliest date that I can pitch is the early 90's but thats not to say they ar'nt from an earlier period as Richard experimented with various colors of Charlock, Green, Purple etc for quite some time. The vase certainly looks to be mid to late 90's from the way the piece has been executed. The piece being unsigned leads me to believe it was poss 98/99 as quite a few pieces were stolen during this time and often show up at auctions and fairs with either nothing at all on the base or someone having scratched Loetz, Tiffany or Kralik. The vase is also not a shape that appears in any catalogue for that range which leads me to believe it could have just been a Trial or One off piece.
The lamp shade again is difficult to date but from the execution it looks to comes from an earlier period than the vase but not as long ago as 30 years.
Richard again has made lamp shades off and on since he started in 1979 in various designs.
What I will do when I see Richard in the next couple of weeks is show him the pics and get the info straight from the horses mouth.
Value. Vase Rare pattern poss trial or one off piece £200/225
Lamp shade. Again rare pattern £125/150
What I can also do for you is if you can get the pieces to me I can get them signed for you.
Cant say much more than that. I'm off to sleep off my Jet Lag.
