Help for IDs for my tango bottom-up spatter vases included possibly Ruckl or Moser for the jack in the pulpit vase above. I only looked at my Ruckl today and thought I had to put them together. The chartreuse and oxblood are very similar but the JIP has a ground pontil mark (or is it something else?)...
I can only assume that the spatter is more "drawn up" than "spotty" on the JIP as the mould was much longer than that for the baluster vase?
They say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing... :-)
Thanks for the comments, both of you. I stand corrected on the colours - thanks. Everything - almost literally everything - looks the same to me still!
BTW, the "lean" on the JIP is very pronounced, not just bad photography. And, as a PS, the light levels in the UK are picking up so I can't blame bad shots on that any more.
cool pieces... and super tall ? I assume...
Both vases are orange cased in clear to which the spatter is applied. The chartreuse/green is substantially darker in the JIP. The darker spots are oxblood to me but are lighter on the sides than the base.
I think differences in the orange ground might be due to differences in the lay of the casing clear glass on the bodies of the vases - that of the baluster vase has horizontal lines in the clear casing whereas the JIP does not. There is not overmuch difference in the rims in terms of orange.
The Casing clear glass is interrupted in the JIP as shown on the base - is this because of some post-mould-blowing manipulation? E.g. to form the rim when the rest could easily be mould-blown?
I can send some pictures of the casing on the bases if anyone is interested?
The height of the JIP is 13.5 inches approx.
Thank you for your interest.
Very nice Ian. And handy one is identified:) makes life easier. They're both stunning. I love the green & red combo.
Thank you for your comments on a number of different posts, Fran.
Alfredo, I was being provocative in posting these together. I am interested in how the spatters are *somewhat* similar. I noted you had one of the tall JIPs on your website. I was almost going to email before posting! Next time!
I agree with your generic.
