I have finally aquired one of these JIP vases of my own. I have wanted one or one similar to it ever since I saw one online months ago. I love the glow this gives off. Im not sure of the maker as I have seen these attributed to Harrach, Thomas Webb, Steven & Williams, etc... If anyone out there were to have any specific information on this one I would love to hear from you. This vase has a rough pontil. This is definetly my Favorite Uranium piece in the collection now. Thanks all!

stunning vase :) and Happy Holidays JayHow:)
Jack in the pulpit shape ? May be Harrach ?
thanks Bellin68! Right back at ya!
Thanks for the love, ozmarty, greatsnowyowl, ks85, obscurities, hornet & czechman. Merry Christmas to you all!
Hornet, Yes this is a JIP shape. I saw several things online that would lead one to think Harrach but then you never know when you are being misinformed anymore...Its tough making sure you have the right attribution these days. Takes some real knowledge, Im learning but just not confident on the maker just yet. Thanks for the suggestion!
the pattern apparently is known as Harlequin and made in Stourbridge. Go the bottom of the page on this link and be sure to click the image to see the black light comparison:

After seeing yours, I had to double check my shelf to ensure mine was still there!

Thanks for the info TallCakes. I had looked there earlier when trying to research this vase. Did you notice that the examples given all have the leaf of the flower going to the right and on mine it goes to the left. Im not sure if they were made one way or the other or if this is typical of determining the maker or not. Just something I noticed. Thanks for the input
tallcakes-- I would take issue with the linked description describing this type of flower as "MAT-SU-NO-KE".
I would simply call this an applied flower. The "MAT-SU-NO-KE" flowers are much smaller, floret shaped with many more petals according to what I have read and been taught by other glass collectors.

WOW Just wow !!!! A true beauty !
Thank you for the additional comments Scottvez. I agree that this is just simply an applied flower. What is your opinion on the applied leaf being on the opposite side. Do you think they may have put them on either side. Seeing some detailed line drawings of some glass from that period, but not this particular vase. They seemed to be very specific about measurements and where things went....so this troubles me some. I have not found anything very specific about who the maker is yet or an answer on the leaf placement. The search continues...Thanks for your comments!
Thank you Hedgewalker...That was what I thought when I saw it in one of my clients cabinets for sale. I had seen one online several months ago, and figured my chances at finding one for my own were slim to none. Just goes to show, you never know what tomorrow might bring...I am very happy to have this in my collection of Uranium and Vaseline glass. Now if I could just get some solid evidence of who actually made the vase...Hmmmm! All I want for Christmas is....?
Jay-- here is some other documentation supplied to me by Alfredo:

Exact maker may never be determined-- the "Victorian Bohemian" attribution is about as far as we can go with currently available information.

mat su noke is always a clear tiny flower.
Beautiful!...:-)
Thanks for the comments and love Inky, thanks to you also for the clarification on the mat su no ke issue Greatsnowyowl! Happy Holidays!
another great find -- how do you do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -- send me an email on sandy please -- hope all is well
I purchased this from the same woman I got the Green Vase from with the brass on the rim? I went back and purchased it right before the move. It was lost in the new house for a while and was starting to really worry me that it was gone. Then I found it mixed in with some things that doesnt make sense it got in with...go figure! How do I do it? I dont really know that one yet. I surprise myself sometimes!!! haha Merry Christmas Autumn!
Thanks for the love Epson233!
beautiful jay -- great post and lots of wonderful information from the members
Just found this article on 'matsu no ke'. An interesting read:
http://theantiquarian.us/Ma-Su-No-Ke%20Info.htm
Wow what alot of information to take in. Thanks for the link Vetriao. I'll have to get my reading glasses out for this one and wait for the house to go to bed. :) You are a constant wealth of information and I appreciate all the knowledge you share with me here on CW. Greatly appreciated.
Whatup Jerrod!
foot=Welz, shape=English, opal pattern=Harrach, flower application= Kralik, rim ruffle= Fenton...I don't know but, don't bring this up on the antique roadshow a fight will break out
Hey Jericho, thats hilarious! I agree with you on the roadshow comment. Im pretty sure by all I can find that this is Harrach do to the opalescent diamond design in the glass. Thanks for your comments, I had to chuckle when I read it.
yeah, i agree, new book on harrach, they made everything...
I love this one
