BHIFOS

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. I hadn't noticed it before but your're right Phil if you look at it a certain way it does look like stairs.
  2. Lovely looking puppies, Sansa looks much better now :)
  3. The vase has me excited Sean!
  4. Lovelly and it really brightens up in the sun. That's one of the things about glass they can almost look like a different piece depending on how it is lite,
  5. Are you sure it's Athearn? I posted my one on the below and it has a narrow nose. also yours has the flashing safety light on the cab and the sand boxes, sure it isn't a Bachman? https://www.collect...
  6. The distance between threads looks the same maybe someone tries to screw it into the wrong thread or cross-threaeded it and damaged the first part?
  7. Hope you checked out the Pen-guin wasn't hiding any contraband!! :)
  8. Blue Mountain Pottery, was quite popular here in NZ, used to get good money but the market has slipped a bit, probably the high prices made a lot more people sell and then everyone reaslised how much ...
  9. Satin or air trap glass, quite old there is a page on 20th Century Glass about it https://www.20thcenturyglass.com/glass_encyclopedia/victorian_glass/satin_glass/
  10. you want to visit https://loetz.com/
  11. with you on the sad button :(
  12. Great story, once I finished reading I had to check out if it was still there and it is. The Filet Mignon on the menu looks rather nice, shame I live nearly 9000 miles away.
  13. Is he missing a toe joint?
  14. Beautiful and the red/pink irridescence just adds to it.
  15. I herad somewhere that the pots with fish and plants on the inside where for putting fish in, aquariums before they could make clear glass.
  16. A lovely chunck of ice!
  17. Nice Octopus. They are very clever animals and I did like eating them once in Chinese food then found out how intelligent they are so no longer on my menu.
  18. Thought as much they never take long to set up shop in the best place in the house!
  19. Very nice vase Marin! I like to use the "when will I see another one of these again!"philosophy and if the damage isn't too bad and like you say your are prewarned why not :)
  20. Funny no puss's have claimed it yet or did you chase them away for the photo? :)
  21. Very nice!
  22. He's very cool!!
  23. They made a grenade luancher that fitted on top of an enfield rifle, need the disc to hold it correctly and take the impact of launch, see below link https://www.rifleman.org.uk/Enfield_Rifle_Grena...
  24. Beautiful. The sun really makes it come alive with the pictures in the garden! :)
  25. Know the feeling, one of my Huart birds I spotted across a small charity shop (homeless puttitats) that was packed with people, spent a while nervously waiting to get there hoping no one else pick it ...
  26. Lovely thing but I would be a bit hesitant to polish it too much. I think I like it as it is now :)
  27. Funnily enough you see pretty much the same thing here with Hokitika Glass stickers on them :)
  28. The stickers say hand painted in Israel, so maybe they get the glasses from Italy?
  29. looks a lot like the acid painted glass from Simron in Israel.
  30. yes you can forgive it that for $3 :)
  31. Sorry can't help with the ID but engraving on the bottom appears to be hand done as they all look a little bit different so someone spent a fair bit of time on it.
  32. beautiful colour!
  33. Wow that is a nice piece!!!
  34. A fantastic composition of pieces!
  35. Nice feet, they are usually the first to go.
  36. Lovely set, looking forward to the better pictures!
  37. Yes that sign is classic! :)
  38. $20 still a good buy :)
  39. check out this earlier post for more info and a picture of Hugh at work. https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/301098-huart-glass-animals-and-birds
  40. Is that a price tag for 20 cents?
  41. That is a great find!
  42. oops missed out the "shop" bit, where they raise funds from items donated.
  43. Thanks Marin, it looked so sad and flat when I first saw it I almost didn't buy it! Feeling a tad silly now :)
  44. Love those Danish names.
  45. your asking the wrong person there!! I can never remember the names of what I planted in my own garden :)
  46. I wonder if you disassembled it the glass would be signed on the bottom?
  47. Fantastic vase!!
  48. Beautiful, and you have the frog/collar!!
  49. Looks like they sprinkled some Frit (small glass pieces) then put it back in the glory hole to melt in and down.
  50. Thanks for the information Deano and I think Raspberry is a good description for the red colour on this one too!
