Topic: Green wide necked vase for id

[yesvil]

I found this one today - anyone recognise it?

I was thinking when I saw it that it may be Dartington but examining  it, it doesn't appear to be particularly well made and there are no markings of any kind.

It does shows a fair amount of base wear with a polished pontil mark.

anychance of base picture?

does it look like this one?

That looks more like a carafe than a vase.  It's the kind of green I associate with Empoli but that's only a guess.

Hi Alfies Dad - I would say so:

That sounds conclusive enough - Thanks Ivo.
