  • Turquoise (1986-1987)
  • White (1982-1984)

Some pieces produced by St. John's Glass on the Isle of Man could be confused with early Isle of Wight azurene pieces, since they also can have the flame pontil mark on the base. Click here to see an example.

Examples

Gold

Azurene gold flask perfume bottle, 14.5 cm high 11 cm diameter

Notice that this flask perfume bottle (14.5 cm high, 11 cm diameter) has only gold leaf added to the surface, not both gold and silver as in other versions of Azurene.


Red

Azurene red perfume bottle, 9 cm high

Perfume bottle, 9 cm high, signed on the base by Michael Harris 1987. This is an extremely rare piece.
