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. Many thanks, Craig! I was very pleased to have won this, my second piece of Bacillus.
  2. Much appreciated, Ales!
  3. Thanks so much, Ivonne, it's very nice to see you back on CW & glad that you're enjoying my posts! I've been very fortunate lately to find so many cool things...more to come in the future, too!
  4. Much appreciated! :-)
  5. Many thanks, Ales! You are a most worthy "adversary" in the quest for glass! :-)
  6. No, no UV glow on this one, kivatinitz, although the pale yellow suggests it.
  7. Many thanks for the fascinating research, keramikos! Most of these Clarke fairy lamp bases are marked but this one differs slightly from the other examples I have. The pressed design is a little diff...
  8. Many thanks, kivatinitz!
  9. Many thanks Bernard, & so true! I have a few more to go...these bigger bases are harder to find...I've got several spares in the smaller, easier to find size but no domes for them yet...
  10. Thanks also, Bernard, yes there is a hallmark, the seller mentioned it was 1907 I think...I will have to take a closer look...
  11. Many thanks, kwqd! I've been lucky to get replacements for quite a few of my regrets, there's only a couple more to tick off the list. Of course, the other "regret" category consists of things I saw ...
  12. Many thanks, kivatinitz!
  13. Many thanks, Peggy! I've long admired your example of this vase, & was thrilled to get one for my collection. I guess we just have similar tastes in glass! :-) That's interesting how you say you hav...
  14. Much appreciated, kairomalte!
  15. Many thanks, Peggy! Yes, I'm lucky to have a lot of great shops locally. My village has two op shops & there are 8 op shops in total in Katoomba, the main town up the road from me, plus about 6 antiq...
  16. Yep! This was crazy cheap, unlike the Rindskopf! :-)
  17. Thanks also, Bernard! Yes, I'm pretty lucky with the shops, virtually every town in the Mountains has an antiques shop or two, plus a similar ratio of op shops to boot. You know where to head if you ...
  18. Many thanks, DejaVu2!
  19. Thanks so much, Ivonne!
  20. Thanks kivatinitz - what do you think, English? Or other European makers? It doesn't look like an Italian production, for example.
  21. Many thanks, Wow22!
  22. Many thanks, DejaVu2! I feel it is Kralik, even though I haven't seen this decor previously. The overall shape is similar to a couple of known Kralik pieces I have in the Harlequin Opalescent decor, ...
  23. Thanks also, Bernard!
  24. Many thanks. Patricia! I agree, it's definitely got something magical about it!
  25. Not to be taken as a sign of age as there is plenty of old glass with the pontil mark polished out & plenty of new glass with rough pontils. Basically what it tends to indicate is that an item has b...
  26. Many thanks, kivatinitz!
  27. Much appreciated, Kevin!
  28. Thanks so much Patricia! I love the spooky aspect too!
  29. Many thanks, Vynil33rpm!
  30. Neat find, even better that it's got a frog!
  31. Rindskopf did a lot of swirly marbled pulled up decors too, so maybe another possibility...it's super cool as well!
  32. Many thanks, Bernard, & totally agree!
  33. Many thanks, kivatinitz!
  34. Many thanks, dav2n01! Yes, the insulators are pretty cool. There's some made with uranium (these aren't) which go for big prices. Got my set for $12. They're heavy & look like very shallow ashtrays o...
  35. Many thanks, carmenisacat! Glad that my posts are of interest. I've learned a lot more about glass since I joined CW in late 2016, inspired by many of the super collectors here.
  36. Many thanks, Jenni!
  37. So true, Peggy, it's what keeps me going! :-)
  38. Many thanks, dav2no1! Interestingly, this stand is actually a better match in my opinion than the original one! The one that got broken had a more elaborate & wider base. This one is a touch more sim...
  39. Looks like it could be Mdina glass from Malta, circa 1980s. I had a vase in pink spatter exactly like this.
  40. Much appreciated, Peggy, & that's exactly what it did for me! It turned up in a general search for art glass. I have quite a list of "spare parts" I need, & often it seems easier to cast the net wide...
  41. Thanks also, Bernard!
  42. Many thanks Kevin! Yes, these are pretty rare, I feel lucky indeed to have found a few of them over the years. Maybe I should do a group photo of them!
  43. Cool piece! Very quirky & unique!
  44. Thanks so much, Peggy & well said! :-)
  45. Many thanks, Kevin! I was thrilled to get this one!
  46. Thanks also, Bernard!
  47. Thanks so much, Scott!
  48. Many thanks, kivatinitz!
  49. What's with the gold paint, looks to me like it's trying to cover up damage. I've encountered plenty of this type of glass over the years & none of it's been painted amateurishly like this piece.
  50. Many thanks, Peggy! Was looking forward to hearing your opinion on this one!
