This is an old topic and the original pics have vanished, but Clemo's superb description matches exactly a celery vase which I picked up today. (Pics of mine to follow shortly.)
The same item is pictured in
Miller's Popular Glass of the 19th & 20th Centuries, by Raymond Notley, and is said to be an unmarked celery vase probably made in France or Belgium - see page 14 if anyone has a copy handy. (No idea where that suggestion comes from though.) There is also one exactly the same on the Turnbull Clan website described as Matthew Turnbull celery vase:
http://turnbullclan.com/museum/vmcollectibles/celery_vase.htm Mod: Link deadNow to Sid's link to the Turnbull piece described as "Celery with thumb-print pattern. Rd 219638 4th Oct1893" ... and I have to express a doubt that this is the same as the first celery under discussion. On the face of it, it looks the same and the picture on the linked site isn't especially clear but zooming in to see more detail, this one looks to have the decorative ridges down from the edge of each scallop round the top whereas the first celery has the decorative ridges down from every third scallop.
Also, a check of Jenny Thompson's
A Supplement to the Identification of English Pressed Glass 1842 -1908 (page 18) gives the Turnbull item registered design number 219638 as a goblet not a celery vase (but sadly with no accompanying picture of the pattern/item.)
Is the one Sid found a goblet rather than a vase? Hard to say as no sizes are given, and it doesn't actually state if the RD no is on the item or not.
Our member, Neeps, stated that all Turnbull glass is marked:

So, I think we are looking at two different items - possibly by the same maker but not proven to be so as yet.
Does anyone have anything else they can add that might help pin this down please?
