Your planter is so beautiful. I'd give anything to find one like it. I'm going to cast my vote in favor of calling your vase W.G. too. Amazing finds, both of them!
I have seen that vase before. Both Roth & Rushca often marked the base with a form number only. Try http://www.ginforsodditiques.com/ they have a lot of info on WG markings.
Thanks for the link Veraleen, I will do some research!
I think there would be some money in contemporary planter based on retro designs, not knock offs but designs in their own right, don't you think? Might need to. Make friends with a carpenter! :)
Hi, I can help you with your unidentified vase! I recognised it straightaway as Crown Lynn and the style is known as Greenstone, which was made in a few different shapes and colours - but they always have that indented pattern. Crown Lynn was New Zealand's most famous and long lived pottery company, and they often just had numbers on the base. Check out this link http://www.trademe.co.nz/pottery-glass/porcelain-pottery/crown-lynn/vases/auction-485305006.htm I've just found your blog, and love it! cheers Sally from across the Tasman!
Hello new retro planter, nice to meet you. You're lovely.
ReplyDeleteAnd yep, I think you've got yourself another new German, Pippa x
L.O.V.E the Planter! x
ReplyDeletePlanter. Just divine, and I love how you've displayed and mixed the plants. Such an artistic way.
ReplyDeleteLet's just say the vase is WG because it probably is and if it's not we won't tell a soul.
Love love love your planter! x
ReplyDeleteThat's a fabulous planter!

ReplyDeleteI wouldn't describe the vase as depressed. It looks rather cheerful to me ;o)
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the plater. That's so awesome!

Love your planter ... the little splayed legs are very cool :-) Bee x
ReplyDeleteLove the splayed legs too,bet you were happy to find that one.I like those mother-in-law tongue plants.
ReplyDeleteLOL! Tania I should have said impressed!
ReplyDeleteYes Simmone and Bee they are a great pair of legs! I nearly didn't buy this, I feared the 'we have too much furniture look' from the hubby! :)
I have no idea about the vase (sorry) but I love it all the same!
