I'm a creative person who collects Bohemian & English art glass - mostly Victorian, as well as early 20th C glass such as Art Nouveau & Tango. My favourite types of I'm a creative person who collects Bohemian & English art glass - mostly Victorian, as well as early 20th C glass such as Art Nouveau & Tango. My favourite types of art glass are pieces with applied decoration, Peloton, trailed, threaded, spatter, iridescent, MOP satin, & rainbow glass. Favourite makers include Kralik, Welz, Harrach, Pallme Koenig, Rindskopf, Loetz, Thomas Webb, Stevens & Williams, & Richardsons. I enjoy glass that is unusual & fancy...like me. I also appreciate antique furniture, ceramics, & all manner of interesting old wares full of character & meaning. To live with style, elegance, & dignity is my aim, kind regards, Marin. (Read more)

  1. Looks 1980s to me. I don’t really think there’s much of a collector following, despite the maker. Even though some 1980s objects are collectible because they epitomise the style of the era (eg. Memphi...
  2. Many thanks, vintagelamp! I do think Peloton glass has a fun & festive look, it’s always reminded me of the sprinkles on a cupcake!
  3. Wow, this is SO cool!
  4. Wow, this is awesome, thanks for sharing it with us!
  5. Michelle, I was just wondering if this bowl might be related to one in a similar shape, but bigger & with a frit decor that I’ve recently acquired? It was sold as Loetz but I wasn’t really sure about ...
  6. I so agree with your sentiments, Bernard, texture is a big part of glass appreciation for me, too. I’m a big fan of frit, crackle, & overshot decors, among many other creative ways of achieving intere...
  7. Many thanks, Michelle!
  8. It’s gorgeous, Michelle! The texture looks wonderful too!
  9. Many thanks, Bernard! According to the seller’s description, the hallmark dates from 1910 - 1913, with the initials DL, likely David Loebel.
  10. I love the bear sitting sedately at the table eating carrots while the other one guzzles wine. And the tiny bear rolling on a barrel.
  11. Much appreciated, Kevin!
  12. Many thanks, Craig! I do have another vase in this decor in a different shape as well, same colour though.
  13. Many thanks, Michelle!
  14. Thanks also, Bernard! I don’t mind sharing the loot around!
  15. Many thanks, kev123!
  16. Much appreciated Peggy, & thanks so much for your lovely sentiments! The luck I’ve had with my collection over the years has been a source of joy in hard times, & I’m always happy to share that joy wi...
  17. Wow22, that definitely made me laugh! I was going for the pink striped boot & ended up with two fairy lamps instead - definitely glad my manifesting was a little off! :-)
  18. Many thanks, Craig, & nice to see you here! I could not believe my luck when I saw these…
  19. LOL, Bernard! :-) The pink didn’t hurt! I think Peggy might enjoy these too…
  20. Many thanks, Kevin!
  21. Thanks also, Bernard! Yes, this has a big glow under the UV & as you noted, it has a greenish look in sunlight. Under the cool light in my studio it’s not so noticeable. I’ve become quite fond of taki...
  22. Many thanks, keramikos!
  23. Many thanks, ALLEGRO!
  24. Ha ha! :-) Newtown is often my back up after Wenty. I did pick up a little Rindskopf & an unknown Art Nouveau vase there in February!
  25. This is fantastic Kevin, what a find! So classy. Was this from the February fair? (I got nothing from that one, had to go shopping in Newtown instead!)
  26. This is gorgeous, Michelle!
  27. May I also add, this is a really great collection. All this glass is interesting & collectable in its own right, & it makes such a colourful display. As much as we collectors like to identify makers, ...
  28. Okay, you have quite a selection of different makers here! For a start, the double crimped vases with single large applied flowers (2 x red & 2 x blue on left side, 2 x blue on second shelf down on r...
  29. Many thanks, Ales, very much appreciated! I’ve copied the photo. It definitely looks like the same shape as my vase.
  30. Thanks so much, Michelle, you comment means a lot because I was inspired by seeing your fine collection of Rindskopf - it made me want to build my own collection!
  31. Many thanks Michelle, & so nice to hear from you!
  32. Many thanks, Peggy!
  33. Much appreciated, vintagelamp! Glad you’re enjoying the garden. I spend a lot of time in mine, too. It’s been pretty hot this summer & the last week of it is going to be stormy. Looking forward to a c...
  34. Thanks also, vintagelamp! It’s become an instant favourite of mine!
  35. Much appreciated, vintagelamp!
  36. Thanks so much, Kevin! So thrilled to have scored these!
  37. Wow, what a cool book! These guys were the dandies of their era. In 2018 I saw a fantastic exhibition of menswear through the ages at the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney, it was called Reigning Men, & did...
  38. Thanks also, Bernard! Yes, in amazingly good condition for their age!
  39. So much appreciated, Peggy, that is a lovely sentiment!
  40. Ha! It’s refreshing to hear someone talk of the potential boringness of clear glass, really I thought it was only me that felt that way, LOL! This is a great vase & far from boring thanks to that sn...
  41. Many thanks, Deano!
  42. Many thanks Bernard! Your thoughts are always welcome! This vase has got me stumped, I’ve never seen anything quite like it. When I spotted it I knew I had to have it, it ticked a lot of boxes for me...
  43. Here’s Michelle’s vase in this decor; https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/114916-rindskopf-green-and-yellow-marbled-vase#
  44. Many thanks, Bernard! Yes those collars often seem to have gone AWOL over the years…but since this has turned out to be the cheapest piece of Rindskopf I’ve ever scored I can live with it. $19 is a pr...
  45. Very nice work, Bernard & so pleased to have been of inspiration! Great glass, perfectly displayed, found at an excellent price & Blue is a sweetheart! 10 out 10!
  46. Fabulous grouping! This decor has always interested me, looking as it does like a moulded version of Peloton glass. I hope to get an example one day, but in the meantime, I can enjoy yours vicariously!
  47. Many thanks, Bernard! This Heuchera plant seems to go with everything, it’s my favourite backdrop!
  48. Well done, Peggy, this is an absolute stunner!
  49. Great score!
  50. Much appreciated, Ales! Yes, I think so too. It has some affinities with their Pfauen glass decor.
