Re: Waifs and Strays - including mini vases
I am adding this note to remind me to add px when I can. I have a few wee vases in these shapes with flat dry base. I took one to Tom Clark who said not his as they always had a foot ring... but then there are the egg cups so thats not strictly true is it. I am doing nana duty so might be a few days before I can take px.

Re: Waifs and Strays - including mini vases
I have a feeling that all of these littlies have a flat base with no footring ..... I will check out mine.
Re: Waifs and Strays - including mini vases
No foot ring but my red one above does have glaze on base, but these are CL if we have museum drawings arnt they...also these same glazes are on other numbered CL shapes..?

Re: Waifs and Strays - including mini vases
These all fit the records. There is one more that is bigger that hasn't been identified yet and I've seen it with a Titian sticker on it ....... It will show itself another day ....
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.
