| Very nice, The swirled ribbed flask is unique in that most Nailsea flask I see are white looped decoration. What can I say about that flecked ink that it's not already saying itself. Wow!!! Where did you get it, I have never seen one before. Great form and looks. They would both feel at home in my collection. HA, HA, only joking but I would like to find simular myself. Thanks for showing me, Greg

| I purchased the ink about 10 years ago at a Summernational show at Wath --- my late lamented good friend Bob Davidson kindly pointed it out on Les Thin's stall. I only know of one other similarly decorated example in the Bottle Museum at Elsecar.

As John said only 2 of those inks recorded - both appeared in the North East - Scottish or Newcastle region manufacture?
There's a nice (lip damaged) black and white flattened flask in BBR's October 4th catalogued sale ..... with 2 delightfull rigarees running the full body length ...... worthy of restoration methinks?
Not much Nailsea turns up Greg, and when it does it is snapped up ....... unless cracked!

these are items which have come up over the last few years in BBR auctions, Glassworks auctions, ebay, earlyglass.com, private collections etc
