Topic: Blue vases identification help. Both signed.

[jal]

Hi , I have 2 glass vases, with predominately a royal blue colouring, both signed on base, although I can't read either.
  The first is approx. 135mm high & 135mm diam., with broken pontil.  See first 2 pics for side view & signature.

   The second is much smaller at 90mm high x 75mm diam.

 Both bought at different times, & from different places, because I liked them, but more fun trying to find out who made them.

 Apologies for the photos. I took loads to get them this good!!!!!!!!

Regards,   John.

the first one looks like J something and 2000?  -
the second one I think you may have the sig upside down perhaps?

Hi,

Think M's right with the bottom signature, any chance you could upload a pic with the signature the other way up.

Thanks

        Hi, thanks for replies so far.    I believe the first vase signature starts with J & may end with Y.
   Year 2000 I think is correct.

         Second vase signature has now been turned 180 degrees, & a further photo with flash,  highlights the surname a bit better.

   Many thanks,    John.
 
   Look forward to someone knowing the makers.

       Thanks Andy,  I think William Walker is right for the small vase. :hiclp:

       Now...... Anybody got an informed guess for the first [larger] vase??

      Regards,    John.

HI john,
its 100% William Walker for the first one.
Its always best to list items seperately, why dont you do a new post for the 1st vase,
under a heading like , signed studio globe vase.
it does make me think its a Michael Harris follower, quite Mdinaesque (just invented a new word  )

Regards Andy

(unless its easier for a moderator to seperate the two vase???)

Andy, no it isn't easier, it's a fiddly process that we can do, but it's better if they're posted separately as you say.

Thanks Anne.
