Featured Glass vase pin cushion

I was out and about this morning and picked this up.

I thought it was pretty.Am wondering does anyone have any knowledge of this type of pin cushion and would love to know when it might date to.
It measures 7 inches in height by 5 inches approx wide.

Thanks for any info.

 

The registration number was used in 1926 so that's the earliest year the glass part was made. But given it's size I would think it started life as a perfume bottle that was later converted by an owner into the pin cushion.

 

Agree with above. A conversion. And I wonder if stopper and base are not a marriage given how different their designs and proportions are.

That makes sense that its a perfume bottle.its obvious now that you have pointed it out.Thank you.Good to know regestratiin number was used in 1926.Can you get any other info from Regestration number i wonder?

 

Here is close ups of stopper and top of bottle with cork.it sits in perfectly anyway

 

I would expect the stopper and base to both carry a meander or fluted motif, not one on one and one on the other.

It’s going to be Davidson or sowerby or bagley I reckon and I lean to Davidson. You can match the registry numbers but it’s not yet online.

Agreed the pincushion is an add on. I think the design is fine. We did a lot of rather inaccurate neo classical stuff in the twenties. Bottom is trying to be a fluted column top and someone thought the Greek motif appropriate.

 

Oh and it’s probably part of a dressing table set.
