Featured Do you know the mark on this Bohemian? English? Glass Vase

I hope some experts here can help with an ID on the maker of this heavily decorated glass vase. It looks similar to Harrach's Moroccan style pieces, but I haven't been able to find this mark for Harrach (or anyone else).

Thanks so much!

 

Without the mark I'd have said Harrach, have had a fair number of pieces with that decoration. Dunno the mark, perhaps a wholesaler/distributor?

 

Thank you, Cherryhill. My first thought was Harrach but the mark threw me. A wholesaler or distributer mark sounds plausible.

 

I don't know about the mark, but look here ...

Wow - thank you! The examples certainly look like mine.

 

I'll try and find my Hajdamach tome. He's the guru on Webb.

 

That would be great - thank you!

 

I just paged through about 200 pages of the middle of Hajdamach, British Glass, saw no glass of the form or decoration of the above. Inconclusive, I know.

 

Hm. There's a fair few similar style show up as supposedly Webb Persian, but who knows.

Looking at this again, I don't think it has Webb quality or Harrach. Which isn't to diss it, it's a pretty thing.

 

Thanks so much. I've looked at every Webb Persian or Moroccan vase I could find online. Mine has the identical decoration, so at least it's a Webb wannabe if not the real thing. I'm still unsuccessfully looking for the mark on the bottom.

 

Such a pretty piece, indeed. Love those greens and blues.

I saw that one, I wonder where they got the attribution from.

 

This one appears to be identical to mine. "Remnants of the maker's mark on the bottom". Hmmm...wish they'd shown a photo of it.

 

Yes, I thought that too.

 

Could it be a decorator's mark? Those are usually free-hand initials, but just a thought....

 

I don't think any factory would have bothered making a transfer for a decorator's mark. Those were basically used for payment.

 

tho' the use of an artist palette with initials might be seen as indicative of a decorator/artist mark...

 

These have the same mark but no id if they look any more identifiable.
