  1. Stevens & Williams? Three feet, acid finish, button on pontil and pattern twist - a variation of their pull-up technique?
  2. These might be made by Stuart & Sons at Stourbridge, England. The corrugated strip to hold the glass bowl in the EPNS metal frame is a characteristic of their work while the green color at the top of...
  3. A very nice Christmas purchase and guaranteed to display well on a shelf or inside a cabinet. The color palette is very attractive while the swirl optic pattern helps to emphasize it as well.
  4. Well found, IronLace. A sumptuous piece so typical of the Victorian era and Stourbridge glassmaking. I'm assuming that this sat in a metal frame on the breakfast or dining table? Would love to hav...
  5. Well worth playing the waiting game. Patience is a virtue. Finding a matched pair of vases of this quality must be very satisfying, IronLace!
  6. I must get out more! You have had some good finds recently and this is another great example of Victorian era glass. Opalescent blue is one of my favourite color ways.
  7. Lovely find IronLace! I think some of the early Loetz decoration utilized pine needles as a design feature. This choice corresponded to the influence of Chinese and Japanese art in the art nouveau p...
  8. That is certainly a rich yellow!
  9. The formation of the top petals suggests Thomas Webb - almost like a signature! The petals are always an even number - six in this particular example.
  10. A very attractive find and should make a statement wherever you place it in your house, IronLace.
  11. Another great find, IronLace. Lovely, rich vaseline opalescence. These B & T items are scarce and very sought after! I hope I might find one for myself, too.
  12. I agree with IronLace that it's Stevens & Williams, Stourbridge. I think the pattern is called 'Osiris' and their patented pull-up machine assisted in creating this distinctive design. Made in mid 1...
  13. IronLace, three possibilities for a Stourbridge firm making this item - Richardson, Stevens & Williams and Stuart. All of them used threading in some of their designs before WWI and I think a strawbe...
  14. Mike, I think it's a mid 20th century knife. Joseph Rodgers was a top Sheffield, England, cutlers or knife-makers who were in production for a long time. They produced quality knives and won medals ...
  15. I have admired this Webb's Burmese shape for a long time and hope that I might come across something similar too!
  16. Love the iridescent green on these Bohemian items. My daughter found a pelaton vase today in a local op-shop! She knew what it was and the other punters didn't and purchased it for half the price on...
  17. Lovely piece of glass, IronLace!
  18. A very tasty acquisition, IronLace! Is the pontil polished, circular and relatively large? I thought it was Webb when I first saw it before reading the description.
  19. IronLace, I also have a pair of these vases! Same dimensions with cranberry crackle finish with the clear base. They present beautifully together on my glass shelf.
  20. Great to see that you can still find some tasty things in Australia! I have a bowl with under-plate in this pattern but the color-way is white and ruby with an acid finish. Where was it made - Engla...
  21. I love Victorian jam dishes because of their variety of shapes and color-ways. I have an example of this particular and most attractive dish but it also is missing its silver plated stand. However, ...
  22. Lovely find, IronLace. The iridescent green finish is one of my favorites because it evokes a refreshing coolness. I note that you are searching for items much closer to home. I have just checked p...
  23. A very tasty acquisition, IronLace - I love Victorian Burmese items!
  24. I think Cyril Manley's book, 'Victorian Decorative Glass' features a similar piece. However, he mistakenly believes it to be of English attribution.
  25. A very attractive display of some of your glass treasures, IronLace. Lots of shelf space and the glass shelving assists in capturing the diversity of shapes and colours. I have a modern cabinet, mad...
  26. Lovely colour and proportions, sklo42.
  27. Once again, a lovely assortment of choice pieces from your collection, IronLace.
  28. sklo42, I live in Australia but many of the items that I've posted are mostly from the U.K. and America. You will see the same items come up fairly regularly because the glass workers made the same i...
  29. Very attractively designed basket, sklo42. I would really love that on my glass shelf!
  30. Undoubtedly you are correct again, IronLace. It is too small and the projections are just asking to be broken off, if taken anywhere near the kitchen. Actually it does reside in the glass cabinet, s...
  31. Thanks, Scott for your gracious comment. I almost forgot that I had this tucked away at the back of the dressing table and since many people on this forum like Welz I decided to post it. I'm glad th...
  32. Hi, sklo42, I've checked a few times and the rib count came to 17 - close, but no cigar! I didn't even think that it was a chance of being from a firm like Welz. Have you seen a website which has an ...
  33. Again, those scattered / splashed colours. Very desirable. Excellent find, IronLace.
  34. Thank you, Michelleboo7 for that interesting information. I don't know much about the firm but I will look them up and see what they made around that period that the jug belongs to. I'm glad that th...
  35. Beautiful colour, IronLace - love the pink, green and red spatter throughout the body. Can't wait to see the other two items!
  36. This piece of glass has nice proportions. At first, when I got it, I didn't pay much attention to it but the shape, colour and distinctive pattern have grown on me. It's silky smooth and very tactil...
  37. dav2no1, wine rinsers were an essential item at the formal dining table in Victorian times. Some collectors just concentrate on these only. They also had smaller bowls in mainly green and cranberry ...
  38. racer4four, great shade of pink and graceful shape. Blind Freddy would be pleased to them!
  39. racer4four, the boat was a commemorative piece for an actual British heroine [Grace Darling] who was a lighthouse keeper's daughter. After the rescue and for many years she was a national identity. ...
  40. He is a feisty blue thing isn't he, racer4four? When I saw him on-line in America, I just had to bid. Some glass birds lack charisma or personality or quirkiness. However, this one is beyond the mu...
  41. Thank you once again for the positive comment, racer4four! As you know I don't specialize in one variety of glass. Whether it's old or new doesn't really bother me. I'm attracted to shapes and colo...
  42. Thank you, shareurpassion, for your much appreciated comment on the pink ducks. The pink colourway is exceptionally done and make them very visually appealing. The Murano ducks and birds range from ...
  43. I'm glad you like them as much as I do, Newfld. I like glass, old and modern which has pink / cranberry in it. I'll post some of my collection of latticino ducks soon. The Murano glass artisans are...
  44. Thanks, kwqd for the generous comment. Both the cranberry colour and shape together, make this vase a nice one indeed.
  45. Thanks, IronLace, for that information about these vases. I agree - they do fit in with the older items and don't look out of place on top of the cabinet. Will be posting more glass shortly - a mix ...
  46. Thanks for the most welcome information about this item, sklo42. It's very satisfying to have knowledgeable contributors providing their expertise on these matters.
  47. I think you are correct, SuperVintageDelights - three curled edges would keep a card secure on the tray. The back edge could serve as a thumb grip as well. It does sit nicely on a table because of i...
  48. A lovely acquisition, IronLace! Keep up the good work.
  49. Thanks once again for the positive comment, IronLace. Smaller glass items, indeed, are great space savers. I've got more items wrapped in cardboard and large styrofoam boxes that are tucked away in ...
  50. Thanks, Jenni. Whether it's blown or pressed glass, looks interesting and has some age to it, I try to add it to my collection which began over 40 years ago. I love collecting the opalescent blue an...
