I got these off the internet last week, I have never seen vases like them, the legs yes but not the shape of the vase body or the decoration. The bodies have a white internal layer with a pink frosted outer and then the stripes appear to be applied by hand. Yes one does look more red than the other this is due to the stripes being thicker. The top appears to have been ground and the the 4 legs added with a ribbon of frosted clear glass.
95mm high, 90mm across the shell and 55mm deep.
I love the delecate shapes achieved, real beautes !~
Delicate
Yip the old can't edit the spelling/grammar on comments, keeps catching me out too!! :)
Very Nice !!!
Wow, these are stunning! Definitely Victorian, very beautiful & such fine applied threading. The satin finish adds an extra level of style, too.
I will say that I've not seen this exact decor before, but I did used to own a vase in the same scallop shell shape with a different decor, a light pink spatter with silver mica inclusions. Feet were slightly shorter & more of a leaf like form on mine. But I was never certain if it was Bohemian or English. I think I lean slightly towards a Stourbridge attribution on these due to that fine machine threading.
Thanks for the comments and loves.
Marin thank you for your observations and comments.
No worries, Bernard! I've just posted a photo of the shell vase I used to have...
