Michael Harris, Isle of Wight Studio Glass

It was a must buy item, though after 4 hours of carrying around my back was complaining. There's a few 5 inch ones around but those extra 3 inches are the difference between oooo and ahhh!

Hi

Just wanted to check out what you all thought of this. Maker, period etc?

Cheers all.

Definitely Isle of Wight, 'flame' pontil mark used between 1973 and 79.

Thanks Davee!

Blue and white swirls, with the slightly curved bottom the shape is likely a bell vase.

Interesting to see blue and white swirls with a flame mark as it is usually found, if at all, with a coach bolt mark. At the time, the precise dates that the marks changed and how long particular colours were used for was not recorded.

It was assumed that blue and white was only made in 1973 and that the flame mark was introduced in 1974 but there was obviously an overlap along the way.

Nice piece of glass, how tall is it?

John

Thanks for the info John. It's 4.5" x 4" diameter.

A small bell vase then, bell vases are usually around 4, 5 or 6 inches tall and very occasionally 8".

Hi,
Could anyone please assist me in determining the pattern/ design of this large pink vase please.

Yes, Isle of Wight glass, from the summer fruits range. Either honeyberry or roseberry-

Very pleased.

Are they not very collectable? All the ones I track go for $$$£££££££+++!

Yes they do fetch good prices, how much, depends a lot on the design. This was a very lucky find at a boot sale. I was a little late getting to the sellers car and a quite old lady had picked it up just before I got there. I asked her if she was going to buy it but she said it was too expensive at just £3. She handed it too me and the rest is history. A great day!

Large pink and blue swirl globe vase, flame pontil mark.

I believe it’s a Michael Harris design for Kerry glass.

No it's definitely Isle of Wight, I have owned Kerry glass and it has different decor to this. Blue pink swirl is a recognised Isle of Wight pattern

Isle of Wight early 70s design
