Topic: Two handled Ewer - Iridised - Italian? Vittorio Vecchin? or ???? ID?

[Gowdod]

Dear All,

so far my thoughts take me along an Italian route, possibly Vittorio Vecchin though I can find no match as yet. The prunts on the handle bases have an English feel to them but think this is my mind putting red herrings in place!

It's 32cm, 12.5" tall a purple/mauve with an iridised suface.

Would anybody recognise it?

Kind regards

I would check out Fritz Heckert because the finish and the colour is remakably similar to a large vase I own in a classical shape.  The prunts on mine are different and much larger than yours, however they used a variety of prunts iirc.

This with similarities in foot and stem style.
Mine is also on the board somewhere. But here is a plainer design in the colour

We need larger photographs on all your pictures to be able to see detail please.  They should be resized to 600 x  400 pixels so they can be enlarged for detail.
Thanks

This one mentioned Webb, although not definitively...

mm, I still think it's probably Fritz Heckert.
The colour is right for them, the prunts are, the finish on the rim, the foot matches others pieces, and the shape of the neck is similar to other pieces. 
Unless there is proof it is from Webb I would think Fritz Heckert would be my first place to start researching.

And that owner has this one as 'English, French, T Webb ..'  Probably owner isn't sure - but really?  English and French?

That owner also has this one as Stevens and Williams and Webb and I'm sure it is not -

Bit cavalier with the 'identifications' on those listings.

I'd start looking at Fritz Heckert.

Fair point

  I didn't mean to make it so obvious but it irks a little when buyers may not realise what exactly it is they are buying - I know you know what I mean

Dear M and Greg,

many thanks indeed. Wish I'd seen the other on ebay would've made a great pair. :-) Have a super day.

Kind regards
