I collect Loetz, Tiffany, Steuben, Quezal, Durand and all the other likely suspects. Also Rookwood, Grueby, Teco, Van Briggle, Newcomb College, George Ohr, SEG, UND and any great vintage art pottery I can put my hands on. I look for the rare and unique, and I like a challange when it comes to identification and attribution. I'm a big fan of Dr. Alfredo! (Read more)

  1. There are UV bulbs that fit in standard reflectors. They could be mounted to a tripod with a clamp. I have not tried these types of UV lamps for Uranium glass because they are less powerful than flore...
  2. The numbers are the design number. Loetz etched vases are marked with a three digit number proceeded by I/ (the first one is I/160, and the 2nd should be the same as far as I know). The I stands for "...
  3. Wow! Unbelievable and tremendous! Definitely looks like two different metals, great design. Thanks for the note about the 85/ and Balalowits. Great job Gary.
  4. Thanks Tony, I will check out that line. I did a quick look and didn't see anything similar, but who knows? Thanks again!
  5. Thanks Frank, I knew if anyone could eliminate Travaise it would be you. I will check Fostoria as you suggest. Thanks again!
  6. Thanks for the opinion, twentiethc; that is also an excellent possibility I didn't think of. I will look into it myself. Thanks Gary.
  7. Thanks Frank, I knew the Union Glass connection but the date is interesting; a little earlier than I thought. I have only owned a couple of Kew Blas (anagram of William S. Blake) pieces, and now all I...
  8. Thanks Kyle!
  9. I was going to bid on this one. Glad you got it Frank. It has a lot of Loetz in it, eh? Or did Loetz have a lot of LCT in it?
  10. Thanks inky. :)
  11. Thanks, I love the Rockies and Missoula has some great views right from town. If you're ever back in this way...
  12. Thanks GSO and vetraio50!
  13. Thanks Mr. T!
  14. Thanks Jeff (a little late) I agree this is transitional, and before its' time. I still am trying to get a good "glow" photo of the uranium glass. It glows quite nicely. Thanks again!
  15. Why do I get the feeling your favorite colors are orange and blue? I love the pattern on this one, and the shape. Very nice!
  16. O&F really does/did great iridescence and pulled designs. These are great! Thanks for the history too Jeff.
  17. Thanks GSO, I should have know from your listing these were sellers pics. I will gladly wait for your shots. And happy 100th birthday well in advance. Is it too early to pick out a present? :)
  18. Yes JayHow, on looking back I should have kept it. Oh well!
  19. Oh, 100th item! I was thinking something else, but that's much better. :) Love the vase, but the sunshine overpowers the gold flecks. Soft lighting maybe? I like to see through the glass, but I'd l...
  20. I was away at dinner, what did I miss? I may have sold this one to Sean, it was last year I think. Appleton WI sounds familiar. If that's what you mean I'm glad you like it. Otherwise you're out of lu...
  21. Beautiful! Thanks for posting.
  22. You are welcome, I'm just surprised I didn't think of it sooner. :)
  23. I just posted a Kew Blas bowl I used to own. check it out!
  24. I agree that stretch-glass usually refers to cheap carnival glass, that was pressed and did not have a polished pontil, so we can eliminate that. But Tiffany and Steuben both made bowls and vases with...
  25. Mr. T said he has no idea what it is. I am still leaning towards Steuben but I have not found anything similar yet, so my 90% sure has dropped to about 75%. I am almost sure it is not Tiffany due to t...
  26. The green is be-hanging down; love those German words! Love the vase too, it's on my watch list for sure.
  27. The colors are a little different than mine, but this is another beauty Frank! They'd look nice side-by-side wouldn't they? :)
  28. How did I miss this one?! This is my favorite papillon and I used to have its' twin. Love it, love it, love it!!!
  29. The more I think about this bowl and look at it the more I am convinced it is Steuben. The reason why Steuben survived and LCT did not is because Steuben (F. Carder) adapted to the times and LC Tiffan...
  30. Thanks JayHow, and I will mention it to Mr. T. Is it the one you have listed as a mystery? I just looked at it and it does have Tiffany characteristics. The polished pontil definitely makes it a possi...
  31. Also looks like it was shaped/ground for a stopper, so I'd say twentiethc is correct about that. The silver overlay is quite good.
  32. Yes, I did notice some silver iridescence in the third pic, and that makes me think it is PG 202. Never seen a piece marked like you say, so it may have been added later by a collector or a dealer. Lo...
  33. Thanks Jeff, I agree.
  34. I'm not sure myself, Kyle. It does look like a Loetz piece, and the decor is like PG 202 but I have never seen this color combination before. The feathers are usually more silver I think, but I don't ...
  35. And thanks again!!!!! :)
  36. Thanks Justanovice. :)
  37. Wow! This is a rare one, and very beautiful. Love it! :)
  38. Thanks Kyle and inky. I really appreciate the loves and comments! :)
  39. Thanks guys; I guess stunning and gorgeous about sum it up! :)
  40. Thanks GSO, inky and LoetzBuddies for the comments, and thanks vetraio50 for the love. :)
  41. I think I do, and I know where to find you. :)
  42. I do, I do! :)
  43. Thanks Gary! :)
  44. Now I see it! Love the shape and decor. What a find (good story). Thanks Gary.
  45. Love the cabinet Gary, and while we're on the subject of lights, the new LED lights are very bright and give off very little heat. Love the glass too of course. The 4-handled one on the 2nd shelf ...
  46. Incredible! I have never seen this one before, and it is amazing to be in one piece - the drapes look so fragile! Was this form only used for Empire? I suspect so.
  47. Now that I'm afraid is an optimist!
  48. "Illuminating with black light"! How poetic and ironic! :) These are great Inky; and "subtle beauty" is often the best variety.
  49. Then again maybe it's an ascending spiral (the threading); depending on what sort of life you lead, or whether you're an optimist or pessimist. Not a bad concept to ponder on a Sunday morning.
  50. Thanks SteveS, I did know the link of Orpheus to music and poetry, and the "elements of human life" is an interesting additional aspect I was not aware of. How do you represent music and poetry is scu...
