I'm a creative person who collects Bohemian & English art glass - mostly Victorian, as well as some early 20th C glass such as Art Nouveau & Tango. My favourite typeI'm a creative person who collects Bohemian & English art glass - mostly Victorian, as well as some early 20th C glass such as Art Nouveau & Tango. My favourite types of art glass are pieces with applied decoration, Peloton, trailed, threaded, spatter, iridescent, MOP satin, & rainbow glass. Favourite makers include Kralik, Welz, Harrach, Pallme Koenig, Rindskopf, Loetz, Thomas Webb, Stevens & Williams, & Richardsons. I enjoy glass that is unusual & fancy...like me. I also appreciate antique furniture, ceramics, & all manner of interesting old wares full of character & meaning. Love rock music as well, especially David Bowie. To live with style, elegance, & dignity is my aim, kindest regards, Marin. (Read more)

  1. Many thanks, Peggy! I was pretty thrilled to find this, even if it is missing a stopper. I haven't seen much of this type of glass at all in person, & it looks to be quite old. The cutting of the win...
  2. Many thanks, Scott!
  3. Thanks also, kivatinitz!
  4. Much appreciated, Peggy, & I totally agree, it's such a stylish shape!
  5. Much appreciated Peggy, & hope you had a great day too! Thought you would enjoy this one, I've long admired yours & couldn't quite believe my eyes when this turned up on eBay! I had to go for it! Ag...
  6. Thanks also, Scott!
  7. Much appreciated, kivatinitz!
  8. Thanks so much, Ivonne!
  9. Many thanks, Scott! And a belated Happy Birthday to you too...seems like there are a few Aries folks on CW...
  10. Thanks again, Craig, this is all super interesting, & I'll get some photos to you shortly!
  11. This vase has certainly opened up a lot of discussion, that's for sure!
  12. Thanks also, Bernard! Totally agree!
  13. Hi Craig, thanks for your interesting input as always. I did notice that the attribution was somewhat uncertain on that site as well. As I'd not seen another example just like it before, I was a bit ...
  14. Thanks also, Scott! I'm fairly open minded when it comes to a chip or two on glass. As long as it's fairly represented by the seller & reflected in the asking price, then why turn down something nice...
  15. Much appreciated, Patricia!
  16. Thanks also, Peggy! It's a great vase which is just the right kind of different I like. I had not seen another like it in either shape or decor. It is a sort of light amber colour under the iridescen...
  17. Thanks kivatinitz for your thoughts. As Peggy mentioned the vase on Etsy is a Kralik Honeycomb Panel, which I have an example of in a different shape
  18. Thanks also, kivatinitz!
  19. Wow Karen, this piece is super cool & it's also super cool to see you back on CW. Missed you!! (The canes in this remind me of a type of trade bead known as a Chevron. These are pretty rare & specia...
  20. Much appreciated, antiquerose!
  21. Thanks so much, antiquerose!

  23. Much appreciated, Sean!
  24. Many thanks, Scott!
  25. Outstanding in every aspect!
  26. Many thanks, Scott!
  27. Many thanks, kivatinitz!
  28. Thanks also, Scott! I was just so glad that the seller was open to taking advice. I'm always happy to share info as it results in a win - win outcome all round.
  29. Much appreciated, Bernard! This is biggest (by 1 cm) Kralik vase I have. The other one was purchased in person so no worries about packing there!
  30. Many thanks, jimtim!
  31. Many thanks Bernard! Yes, a few of the others I have are a bit dodgy around the legs &/or rigaree. This one has got a tiny scrape on the rigaree but otherwise all good, especially for $3...
  32. We have a set of four of this exact same chair. My partner purchased them in the 1980s as 19th century "music room" chairs. I don't know about the accuracy of that particular description as I'm a glas...
  33. Many thanks for the update, Craig!
  34. Many thanks, Scott!
  35. Hi Patricia, sorry for my late reply, the flower is a fuchsia. Specifically, Fuchsia magellenica var. gracilis, commonly known as Hardy Fuchsia. Very easy to grow in various climates. I grew this in S...
  36. Many thanks, dav2no1! Free stuff is awesome, I like the idea of giving something unwanted & unvalued a home where it will be enjoyed. Those marbles look cool under UV!
  37. This interesting article provides a detailed history of beer glasses in Australia - https://timegents.com/2020/01/10/evolution-of-the-australian-beer-glass/
  38. Sure! Wish you could, Peggy! :-)
  39. Super find, this is an absolute stunner! Very unusual in all aspects, even though I have a lot of glass with applied flowers, I've never seen one quite like this!
  40. Thanks also, kivatinitz!
  41. Many thanks, Scott!
  42. Thanks also, DejaVu2!
  43. Many thanks, Scott!
  44. Much appreciated, Peggy - I was looking forward to hearing your thoughts on this one! I knew when I saw it that it was something different that I was fairly sure I hadn't seen before. It was a great d...
  45. Thanks also, Scott! Hope you make some cool finds at the antiques fair! They're one of my favourite things too!
  46. Many thanks, kivatinitz - that's exactly how I feel about this vase, it's busy in a magical sort of way, classic Welz!
  47. Thanks also, Bernard! Yes, this one is fixed on permanently, cannot budge it!
  48. Many thanks, Craig, fantastic information, much appreciated! I was so pleased to have won this, it is a really super piece & I'm thrilled to have it in my collection. That it is Welz makes it even b...
  49. Thanks also, kivatinitz!
