Is it possible to see a clearer picture of the different pontil marks please/  and when you say its rough with clear blob over it, is it snapped off and the clear blob is part of the pontil mark?  or is it a domed shape in the middle of the foot?  I'm a little confused as to whether both sets are the same pontil mark and how they were done and finished.  Sorry for the inquisition but I'm curious about Thomas Webb's pontil marks as up to now I've only come across one piece without a polished pontil mark and that was an attribution I think, rather than a definite id.

Hi. Sorry, I missed your post until today.

Will take some more pictures.

There is a rough pontil mark beneath smooth glass. The one piece is more of a slight dome - the other is flatter. Sorry, not sure if that's a help or not. Where the stem of the glass meets the foot is different too.

Will post some pics asap.
Many thanks, Anthony

Thank you
I think...although I could be wrong, that the one with the clear glass blob over it is known as a button pontil mark?  A neat way of finishing it, I like these  :)
I'm interested in the other that has a snapped off pontil mark yes? but on the same piece  also has the 'coil' of applied glass between the stem and the foot forming a merese. 
Thank you for posting the pictures.  If these are positively id'd as Thomas Webb that helps me with another piece I am investigating.

You're welcome.

Does they way in which they're made indicate an earlier date? I know most people have said 20s/30s but they just 'feel' like they are older. But I can't entirely say why...
Many thanks, Anthony
