Re: Waifs and Strays - including mini vases
Here at last are pics of my mini vases. They are all 7 cm high. The one with strawberries I took to Tom Clark who said it wasn't his... as his ware always had a foot ring. ALL of these vases have a flat base. And yes they are very similar to the museum drawings.
There is one difference; the strawberry vase has a very distinctive slipcasting line on the base; the others don't. As we know CL was very careful with fettling, maybe the strawberries are some other maker? It is also possible that Tom was wrong, he was an old man when I interviewed him and these vases were made a long time ago.

Below, all the vases in the same order as they appear in pic above. Unfortunately marred with felt-tip.
