New Plymouth NZ

I like glass and have rather a lot (or too much depending on who you talk to) Victorian, Uranium, Mid Century be it Japanese or European and NZ Art Glass.

Comments

  1. Love the collar, as we have discussed they are so often missing it really makes the piece!! :)
  2. wow you wouldn't many of these with all the original packaging!
  3. the orange quench bottle's shape is really neat!.
  4. "Never Again" something to do with the world wars? I see there are some newer war memorials in Canada that use those words in their title.
  5. perhaps Puss is sucking up the healing energies for himself :)
  6. watch out that Scott doesn't spot it.....too late :)
  7. The rim makes it look like one of those plants that close on insects, beautiful colours and of course I like the spiky handle :)
  8. Is it cut or do they wet the wood and mould it?
  9. Beautiful vase and I wouldn't have thought to check this colour of glass for uranium, another piece of information to stick in the memory box, thanks Marin.
  10. Seem to remember seeing they had to close last year partially due to the hexamine blocks used to power the cars came up on a list of restricted chemicals in the UK that could be used to make bombs and...
  11. Beswick is nice stuff, I can understand the disappointment of having a piece arrive broken, I usually put them in a corner for a while and contemplate later on what to do next after my grumpy button r...
  12. I have since found them to be Huart!
  13. All are very nice but really love the etagere (had to look that word up). A great way to start the new year off!
  14. It isn't Tony's work, see his comment below. "I don’t think that piece is one of mine. Has a few hallmarks of me, like colour and iridescence but not a style I recall making."
  15. OK probably not Tony's work but I have emailed him for comment he might recognise whose it is.
  16. Your home page seems devoid of any detail as to where you are based, are you in New Zealand or elsewhere?
  17. Certainly unusual but I like it too!
  18. ah the maltese cross pontil, a favourite maker of glass in NZ of mine Tony Kuepfer uses this pontil break. Tony was originally from Oregen USA and was shown the method by Fred Daden who was a top gaff...
  19. Beautiful pieces, I also enjoyed reading about the silver overlay process.
  20. Great job on the repairs! Seeing this reminds me of a lady at our work that used to give me grief during duck shooting season calling me a duck murderer!! This carried on for years until I found out...
  21. He is very regal!
  22. If old and valuable cleaning may not be a great idea as the pattina of old items is usually more valued than polished up looking like new.
  23. I'm envying this one :)
  24. Lovely piece and it's big, shame about the petal & leaf but do you grow old waiting for another....nah... I would have grabbed it too!! :)
  25. Put on in Japan I think, you see a few pieces here in NZ with this label and of course Karen has seen them in Aussie.
  26. afternoon tea looks good :)
  27. Beautiful, did you spot the S Clarkes Fairy on the base as well? It shows up on the expanded photo!
  28. Love to see some more photos! Watch out with those spring plate holders they can do terrible damage to the outer finsh.
  29. You could use it as Amanda's new food bowl, full with tasty treats of course! :)
  30. someone appears to be a victim of DEVOlution........... I'm one too a favorite band from the 80's
  31. link to the first post below. https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/295884-blue-and-white-tripod-vase
  32. They are quick alright. We were in LA in 96 waiting for a shuttle to take us to D Land and one zipped in had a look at a couple of bushes and zipped away again. Her Indoors asked if I got a photo, my ...
  33. he's really cute! :)
  34. have a look here and you will be able to interpret the hallmarks https://www.silvermakersmarks.co.uk/index.htm
  35. amazingly I just found the twin for this on Shawnl86's page! This one is in the USA. https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/190239-kralik-corded-large-opal-vase
  36. your plant matches the decor well! :)
  37. Mr Jingles is saying isn't my tummy cute, but if you touch it you loose your hand :)

  40. no problem, your posts have been helpful in identifying pieces I have :)
  41. House of Harlow.
  42. could be WMF Germany who have been around since the mid 19th century. Probably where silver plated.
  43. Neat tool! RobH link got me interested in finding out what it did, after a bit of Googling and looking at various pages it looks like they were used for finishing of the loop on aircraft control cables.
  44. If it is uranium glass it will react to UV light, you can get UV torches and lamps but introducing sunlight that has lots of UV can make it glow in the right conditions, best at sunset where the visib...
  45. Have you checked if the green glass is uranium?
  46. Your garden seems to be in full spring mode!!!
  47. Such a stylish Panda!
  48. beautiful!
  49. I posted one a couple of years back with the same pattern on the inner part of the bowl. https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/312642-barbini-murano-glass-bowl
