    This was bought as an oddity. I think it was made in three parts, cup stem and thin flat foot. Also I remember raspberry prunts from C.W. years ago as having been made by very few companies. If it had any use at all I think it would have been a candlestick
    If anyone has information on this piece it would be very welcome.

      This is super cool & really interesting, Peggy! I like it a whole lot, & totally understand why you got it - so appealing to the inquisitive & advanced collector.
      I think I have one or two items with raspberry prunts (they are indeed rarely encountered).
      One of mine is confirmed as Stuart & Sons, the other maybe by another British maker, Victorian era.
      But never mind the prunts, what about that very fine & unusual spatter! It varies in each of the three parts of the item. Gotta get my thinking cap on!

      I really enjoyed your comment Marin. All I remember about raspberry prunts is that there's a British maker who put them on the pontil area of the base of their pieces.
      I hope your thinking cap is in good order!

      Glad to hear it, Peggy!
      I have tracked back through my old posts to find the raspberry - prunted items, & here they are, a footed bowl, a rose bowl, & two open salts:

      https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/214586-victorian-pink-and-yellow-art-glass-salt

      The link with these is that they all have the prunt on the base.
      The rose bowl is definitely by Stuart & Sons, the others, I am uncertain of, but strongly feel they are all British origin. Cleveland Stripe items seem to get attributed to Thomas Webb & Sons.
      Now, to the spatter on your unusual vase. That is a whole other matter! I'm going to try & see if I can find anything remotely like it. The slightly "blurry" cobalt blue recalls to me this odd little jug I've had for many years. Small, but very thick & heavy, & I feel, also very old. It is almost "rustic". That really is the only spatter that I can bring to mind even remotely like that on your vase, though of course mine has some extra colours in it besides the cobalt blue.

      I have to say, Marin, you've given me a lot to think about. However I fear this one may defeat both of us.

      LOL, I fear that is likely a correct estimation, Peggy!
      I have more than a few of those "defeating" items myself...

      Goes with the territory. If I'd wanted 100% certainty on maker I should have collected British ceramics, as my mother did.
