Congratulations for extracting it from him - beautiful piece!
I still for the life of me can't figure out how they made those pulled loops.
I just love the colours. What an a amazing collection you have, very, very! beautiful.
inky : thanks for the comment and your spelling of "colours" tells me British English not American English ?
I guess C W has world-wide viewers. Great.
British, born in Africa, naturalized Australian living in New Zealand...at the moment....:-)
its beautiful
Great piece! I have a collection of these in all three of the documented shapes. Worthy of note...there is only one cylinder shaped example of the PG 1/844 decor exhibted in the PGM which tells me that this shape is not as prevalent. Note to Cogito...the "loops" in this decor are applied thick threads of glass. I think some one mention that these were "extruded" but they are applied.
LoetzDance.......thanks for the additional information.
