Large dimpled green fruit bowl maker?
« on: June 25, 2014, 06:14:18 PM »
Wonder if anyone could please throw any light on this attractive bowl? There are two very faint mould lines down the outside and a good ground mark on the base. Whitefriars or no?

Thanks in anticipation...

Definitely not Whitefriars. Looks like uranium glass to me though

A belated thank you. Can't find me black light pen thingy to check but I'm pretty sure that you're absolutely correct...

I'd agree - certainly looks to be a glower.              Might the patterning and shape suggest T/Webb?

I wondered that this morning. A straight side on shot taken indoors against a plain white background might help. It is also good to attach your pictures directly to the board. Resize high-res pictures so that the longest dimension is about 700 pixels and you should be OK. The board makes the thumbnail.

Okay, finally figured out how to resize so attached are some more photos.

ps. Shhh. Don't tell the wife I used one of her best pillow cases for the photos, she'll make me wash it again by hand. I may wear trousers but I don't wear the trousers.

Just received the blacklight torch and the vase certainly glows like a very glowing thing.

Is Richardson out of the question? or is it a known Webb shape?  It looks familiar somehow (the purple version maybe?)

Richardson is a possibility. I have one (it does glow like a good'un) and there is no Webb mark. I think it was made around the time Richardson was taken over by Webb, when both factories still operated.
