Matching a pattern to the product

I'd thought that the vase illustrated was Stevens and Williams, and just possibly designed by the young Frederick CARDER - but that was until I came across pattern 15535 in the Webb Archive. The colours are different - the pattern book specifies a"Blue Shaded body, flint stems, Ivory flowers, topaz prunts"

Visit to the Glass Fair 14th November 2010

Submitted by kawazu on 15 November, 2010 - 14:59

Another worthwhile visit to the Glass Fair.  I'd gone with very specific aims - I'm trying to limit my collecting, but like many collectors I cannot resist interesting things that don't really go with the rest of the stuff I've acquired, and this time was no exception - an odd glass ?rummer ?firing glass - in a brownish-yellow Uranium metal.  Glows under UV.  It looks early 19th century, and I think it's British, so it must be one of the earlier pieces to be made in Uranium glass.  I'll post a picture when I get the chance.
