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 can see why you purchased that one its wonderful!! What year is the silver hallmark?
  2. Beautiful!! But your giving away your sources :)
  3. nothing to do with them being pink of course :)
  4. and apparently quite tasty, bit like turkey.
  5. found one here, seems it is a civilian achievement award. https://globalbunjang.com/product/186250228
  6. had to google what the small rings were, never seen them here.
  7. Must be a fair bit of uranium in it as the photos outside show the green but the last one inside there is no sign of it.
  8. Love it! Looks delicious like a big candy!
  9. "Impeccable" would appear to be a prerequisite for anything I've seen that you own Phil. :)
  10. Maybe after been in his pocket for 30/40 years it just wore out.
  11. Two tools with the blade and the scale remover/hook remover.........and most importantly a bottle opener :)
  12. Like the paperweight and love your Puss!!
  13. Beautiful things and the paint is still in wonderful condition, so many of these have been cleaned a bit too aggressively.
  14. Nothing informed here but I really like it, such an unusual combination of styles.
  15. the Art Deco building in the 3rd photo is fantastic!!
  16. Cool! I thought only looking at the pictures you had 2 in different coloured bowls. I know about Neodymium glass as I have posted a few so this is new to me!
  17. Beautiful, and first thing I thought when I saw it was maybe there was a brass collar once. Shame they seem to go walkabout.
  18. Had a mate whose last name was Nickson, everyone called him Nick or Nicky. Call him by his first name and he would thump you, something to avoid.... he was huge looked like a big rock troll!! :)
  19. Big bottle of Coke was worth 4 cents was I was a kid, boy did we spend some time scouring the local football park for them so we could buy lollies and fireworks.... good times :)
  20. I could believe you had this specially made to match the leaves in your garden, it looks like it belongs! :)
  21. I thought "Ah Snap" you've listed this before but after checking your one or two listings Jenny it would appear this one is unique!!! :) I think I counted 6 seahorses.
  22. Big Yellow Taxi is my favourite!!!
  23. Very nice colour, it looks the same as this pair although mine are 25mm shorter https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/309582-a-pair-of-kralik-vases
  24. and prize for the ugliest critter goes to Deinotherium!!!
  25. Beautiful piece, you have certainly had some good finds lately!! :)
  26. I love spiky handles!
  27. Wonder if she was offered a wafer-thin mint" at the end?
  28. Beautiful Vase, it looks delicious too :)
  29. neodymium/Alexandrite same thing.
  30. great find and love the flowers in the Garden :)
  31. the cool thing about it is instead of forcing the colour change with other lights if you just leave it on a windowsill or somewhere it will be in full sunlight as the light changes with cloud etc duri...
  32. have you tried putting it under fluorescent light? looks like it could be neodymium glass and will change colour :)
  33. Yip looks green now :)
  34. I think you have what is known as a "Sensitive Drill Press" they are for doing small number drill size holes, the idea being that you could feel the drill working and not snap them off as would happen...
  35. No posts yet Peggy just looking and likes, I started looking around at Face book pages when it looked like CW was dying, but fortunately it seems to have done a Lazarus :)
  36. am I the only one that sees a yellow rock?
  37. now where else did I just see this picky :)
  38. That's the second USS Enterprise, the WW2 vintage one was a Yorktown class with the one flight deck.
  39. looks like it may be working again Jenni! :)
  40. yes it's a problem here too, they pinch them in cemeteries of all places :(
  41. Fabulous and a true pair too!!
  42. So many interesting things.....what is the fish in the top right corner of picky 4? Fishing lure or a bottle opener is suggested on google image :)
  43. In 1965 Lotus car 3 was Jim Clark.
  44. looks great the way he is! :)
  45. Well done rescuing it Marin!! May have ended up in the bin judging by the vendors attitude to the damage. Could it once of had leaf type feet?
  46. Used to be a pair of them belonging to the local cow cocky next to the penstocks that fed a hydro power station I used to work at in the 90s, I think he had tapped into a pressure feed off them to run...
  47. I was going to say "stunning" and then "beautiful" but they have already been used:) It's a wonderful piece hope its provided the tonic to make you feel better!!
  48. What a fantastic gift! :) But yes it just makes you wonder where, when etc he got it.......... :(
  49. check out Dave's post from a few years ago, lots of information. https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/290165-painting-on-slate-by-m-dennis-marvin?in=1689
  50. Lovely set of vases you in these 3 posts :) have you used a bit of UV in the first 3 photos of this one?
