Anne - thanks for posting pix of your bowls - have to say I wasn't aware of this shape, but they're attractive - I must look out for them.
thanks m for taking the time to post your thoughts and links. So, what am I supposed to infer from your information - that my bubbled amber/gold vase is, or isn't Murray - sorry to seem thick, but I've been absent from glass for some while and I probably wasn't too au fait on 'pre WW II' art glass in the first place. Would be grateful if you are able to clarify for me, even if just a subjective slant. - thanks
Re the Nazeing - as mentioned, I see their pieces (or at least what I always believe to be theirs) several times a year in charity shops, and they stand out noticeably, and I don't seem to have a difficult with provenance - perhaps it's the colourways that convince me, but perhaps I have in fact been getting the id wrong all this time. IMHO, Nazeing is quite distinctive, and whilst I stand to be corrected, I've not been aware of any of them being from other makers.
But - as you and I know, we can't keep everything we find, so in the end they all go which means that I've nothing in the flesh with which to compare current finds - however, IMHO I don't have a problem with id for this particular piece.
