I recently purchased a glass lot at auction. This vase was included, but I have no idea what it is. On the bottom I has the Booth name and that it was manufactured for Tiffany & Co. It measures 7" h x 5" w. Can anybody tell me anything about it?
Thanks
Rick
Booths were a well regarded porcelain manufacturer in Tunstall, England.
This would date between 1930 and 1946 when Booths joined Colclough, as Booths and Colclough until 1954, when they essentially finished.

It is a beautiful piece of reticulated porcelain and I would imagine pricey in it's day.
You might need to do some searching to see more of their wares.
Thanks so much racer4four! I've tried finding info by googling but have been unsuccessful. I'm going to keep looking.

great info, racer4four, and I agree, definitely was pricey in its day!
rick55, although the border is very different, it appears that the floral motif on your vase is a variation of Booths "Lowenstoft Border" pattern that was made specifically for Tiffany & Co.

This floral motif is more similar but wasn't made for Tiffany:

Oh wow solver, I can see the similarities especially in the second example! Much appreciated.
