Seller told me it was Gozo when I bought it but now I've compared with others it doesn't seem quite the same. Am I barking up the wrong tree? Is this vase Gozo, William Walker, Clare Belfrage?  Img_4610

How tall is the piece?
For my eye, it's a little bright for Gozo, what with them drawing inspiration from the rugged Maltese Coastline but it's not my specialist area

I have looked at this post a few times and it reminds me of a William Walker vase I had once, there is a similarity, but I am probably way off the mark.

The base doesn't look right to me for Gozo. They usually have flat bases without a clear pontil mark.

Thank you for replying ; I hadn't heard of William Walker before , I've looked and there seem to be a lot of similarities in his work to mine .

He has identified his work in the past on glass messages forum, including a swan I had that he ID'd as his. Maybe post the vase on there to find out for sure if it is his work?

On my Instagram feed this morning a vase popped up, the same shape, and a very similar style, I noted down the maker, Clare Belfrage, an Australian glass artist. It may be another avenue if the William Walker avenue doesn't pan out.
