Possible Orzel 108
I bought this vase in the weekend from Jeremys CL collector friends estate.
There were 2 to choose from, the other had 108 much clearer on base.
Its 8cmh & the rim has been thinned down to give it a finer look..

this is marked 105.
At the same estate auction as above there were two of these small bowls in Honey Brown colours clearly marked 105. This is my neighbours one in blue...which we wonder if could be connected with Titian or Orzel too..?

Re: Possible Orzel 108
This could well be an Orzel shape. It took a while to find the topic about the 3 digit Orzel and here it is to compare the numbers -

Actually the 108 could be as well, but I just can't see the numbers clearly and is there a dot after it like the ones in the post above?

Re: Possible Orzel 108
The placement of the numbers & the font are the same as this Orzel cup, which has no obvious . after the C100 ....hhmmm...


Theres no real obvious . after 112 on my Jug either & the letter two looks a bit hand drawn??.

Re: Possible Orzel 108
Some more shapes & numbers to fill in the gaps would help it all make sense aye..

Re: Possible Orzel 108
I think to the dots after the numbers on these Titian shapes must be random, I just looked at a 506 shape like Jonnos in the Gallery and it had .506. so does my .508.
This Orzel Jug looks the same blue frothy glaze as the 105 shape above..

Re: Possible Orzel 108
From Kat's pics above, I am confident the two vases are Orzel. I have a confirmed 105 in my collection. I have been told by Camw and Dorothy Brown that Orzel used rather ad hoc numbering, with no particular system or continuity between one range and the next.
