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. Thanks also, Bernard! Yes, could not turn it down for any reason, & I'm a very happy camper... :-)
  2. Many thanks, Michelle & so nice to see you back on CW again, too!
  3. Thanks so much Michelle, this is great to find out! I had one of these vases, same as the green one in the middle of the bottom row in the picture. Did think it was Czech, & they do turn up reasonabl...
  4. Thanks also, QueenofCups!
  5. Many thanks, Bernard!
  6. Many thanks, Ales, & very interesting!
  7. Thanks also, Peggy! It's a really nice stand that is light & airy in appearance. Was rather dull but scrubbed up well!
  8. Many thanks, Bernard! I check out my local ones pretty much most days, & when I'm out of town, whatever's nearby. Persistence (aka obsession) is rewarded!
  9. Yep, super lucky - just posted a photo of it matched with a dish. Had to test it out with a few, as all the dishes are a bit different.
  10. Very nice piece, & amazing how much variation there are in these dishes, so many colours & patterns. Would you believe I managed to find a silver plate frame in an op shop today for $6 & after a quick...
  11. Excellent find! The full uranium ones are hard to find - thorns are also way cool...
  12. This is a super rose bowl, really pretty. Pity that the seller was inept in their descriptions but as you said at least it was a low price & it still displays beautifully! Agree with your advice on p...
  13. Well, these are pretty cool & will display nicely with glass of the same era! Also great to have those elusive frogs intact. They could even be of Czech or at least Central European origin, as there w...
  14. Very cool, & worth checking with the UV light as there might be a touch of uranium (& maybe also cadmium) in the spatter...
  15. Super find, & this one has an unusual crimp, like a rounded box pleat.
  16. Yep, definitely Dogwood, it was a popular pattern on Fenton. Nice piece of Burmese, I have a plain one of this shape.
  17. Much appreciated, Scott!
  18. Many thanks Kevin! The iridescent ones are pretty rare, so I definitely got lucky. The seller I got this from actually had *three* Kralik floriforms on offer, so talk about being spoiled for choice!...
  19. Thanks also, Kevin! Going to Wenty tomorrow?
  20. Many thanks, Scott!
  21. Much appreciated, Peggy, thought you'd enjoy this one! I may get around to doing a post of this with the other vase I have with the exact same colour threads - it was the first Peloton item I ever fo...
  22. Thanks also, Deano! Being a collector is always a perfect opportunity to treat yourself, birthday or not! But I actually wrapped this up (plus another cool item still to be posted) just to make it mor...
  23. Many thanks, Scott!
  24. Much appreciated,kev123!
  25. Thanks also, kwqd!
  26. Many thanks, Scott! Happy Birthday to you for last Monday! I've had a lovely day enjoying the beautiful autumn weather & now enjoying a very good wine!
  27. Same here, wrecking our stock market in Australia as well...
  28. With "crunch" being the operative word...
  29. Thank you so much, Ales, this is very interesting & I really appreciate your research on this...it is a charming little vase & despite some chipping it oozes style & quality. The seller I got this fro...
  30. Very classy, Kevin! The angular handle is totally chic! May I recommend taking a photo with a black background to assist with showing up the iridescence?
  31. Much appreciated, Ales! The seller had it listed as Loetz or Kralik, & personally I wasn't sure enough to put an attribution here yet. I know that Tadpole decors were popular in this era & that more t...
  32. LOL Bernard! :-)
  33. Thanks also, Peggy! I am more than happy for your to be its honorable aunt (what a charming idea), & you're welcome to visit any time, too!
  34. Many thanks, keramikos!
  35. Wow! So fabulous, Penny! Sit them on a mirror & you'll have an instant "Swan Lake"!
  36. Much appreciated, Scott!
  37. So beautiful!
  38. Many thanks, Scott!
  39. This is a wonderful item, & I had no idea that Welz made a decor like this, either! Now I can live in hope that I might find an example of my own...in any shape! It is interesting to note that the B...
  40. This is a very interesting piece, Kevin! The satin finish is not often seen on this type of item. Spatter looks like it has some slightly "jagged" edges, rather than just all round/oval elements. The...
  41. Wow Kevin, fab find, these are totally gorgeous! May I ask which op shop? :-) I still check out the Sydney scene whenever I can...
  42. I'm loving your artistic arrangements of these finds, absolutely fascinating!
  43. Classic Welz in a lovely colour, & I feel that your notion is perfectly sound, one gleaned from much experience!
  44. Thanks also, Bernard! Yes, definitely a nervous wait...I may be tempted by another item from this seller, but would not consider anything with applied handles or projecting parts - risk is too high ev...
  45. Many thanks, Jenni!
  46. Many thanks, Wow22, & apologies for my mistake. I did accidentally mix up the top & bottom measurements, so well spotted. Have corrected now. It really is a fantastic piece of glass. Seems to me that...
  47. Thank so much, Scott!
  48. Many thanks, Ales, much appreciated. Wonderful pieces in your collection! I was so thrilled to find this vase, the decor has such elegance & a touch of the dramatic about it, too. It seems to be rath...
  49. See Jericho's post here: https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/49501-kralik-decor-8--marbled-decor My vase has no markings but that seems to be typical of Czech glass found in Australia.
  50. Many thanks, Deano, much appreciated!
