Topic: Tall green tadpole vase

[fatbelly]

Hi all.
I purchased this with some Loetz Rusitcana but this isn’t.I have searched the usual suspects and can not find anything quite right.It has a green Powell W/F colour palette to it but I don’t think it’s W/F.
It’s nicely done with polished pontil.
Measures 1’ or 12” tall.
Any ideas to research would be appreciated.

I did see some Powell pieces with tadpole ish shapes in the WF book.
Colour is close.
Thanks

I think that's (might be?) Stuart.

Can't find a ref for you at the mo but I think I've seen one in clear maybe in the museum pics that someone has posted from the Red House (?)

I've some catalogue pages somewhere - I'll try and dig them out over the next few days and see if it's in there.

Thanks flying free.
I will have a look down the Stuart route too.I did find a W/Friars vase in the same colour with similar tadpoles but on a pot bellied shape which was posted in the W/F .org site which is no longer there.
I’ll keep trying to find it.
Thanks again

Did Stevens and Williams also do a range back in the day, and did most Stuart glass have an acid stamp or only on later items ?.

Webb and Stevens and Williams also made applied peacock trails/tadpoles/cats eye/other applied pads descriptions.

For some reason I think this one is Stuart because of the spiral trails. However I think S&W also did these.

There are other Bohemian makers as well. But I think this is English glass.

Harrods stocked a huge range of Stuart applied and trailed - I need to check catalogues to see if it's in there.   There is also a Stuart catalogue/pattern book somewhere with these in but I don't have that.

actually wracking my brains I think it's an opalescent version of this I've seen and possibly id'd as Harrach, but I queried that iirc.(not that my query/opinion holds more water than the original id version as iirc it might have been in a book).

I'd need to look it up and other things beckon at the moment.

Will do later.

Thanks both.
I did find a piece in the same colour with spiral but on a squat vase on an online auction site attributed to Stuart based on Harrach.Comes up under google searches for Stuart tadpole.
Definitely not marked although there is a lot of wear to base.
Will keep searching.
Thanks again
