Hi, I forgot your name, Eileen? Nice to hear from you, hope you are well, I find there is no time either, to many things to do and much slower at it.... lol.

Thanks for the loves Jenni and Scott. Best.

To Ales, more documentations.

WOW! I just came across documentation from Sweden, in 1925, with black and white 9 page catalog of their Pukeberg glass production company. This vase is shown, and seems this shape was used over ...

The -nice- staid Canadian woman image of the 1950-60s period might relate to our Prime Minister wife at the time, a wearer of hats, floral print dresses with a natural fur stole. Mrs. Lester B. Pears...

interesting info garnered by being there, great info to share with the rest of us.

Thank you for the loves my CW friends, a nice gesture I always appreciate. Have a good one.

thanks for the loves, added a new glass vase by Legras with the catalog examples.

LONG time, Eza. Since then I found this shape in Ruckl glass decors, without the tan satin finish. There might have been 2 versions of this lidded squat double body jar style on a pedestal foot. http...

not a mark, just a darker area of grime.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tongzhi_porcelain Good article about this type of ceramic and why it is so different in style and decorations. Finding lots of these online sites and interesting to ha...

Oops! Confused similar reign names in Japan and China. This is the Tongzhi Qing Dynasty, see article about the ceramics during this period. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tongzhi_porcelain

Think Taisho reign of China, late 19th, durnig a period og great conflict, when the export porcelain factories where mostly destroyed, leaving just a few for their own population's needs with mediocre...

thank you, rancherswife. I still find it fascinating years later.

yes EZa, made me realise there might be more novelty glass ladies vanity items we are not aware of by Goldberg. This is so satisfying to increase knowledge of our favorite glass. Thank you.

Ewers were a big Italian glass favorite during later 20th. Many wonderful creations with traditional sommerso glass decors, as well as the more modern Empoli clean line and single color fabrication de...

This is great, I also collect sterling silver jewelry, and started with that as I could not afford the expensive stuff and silver suits my skin tone better than gold. (smirk) There was such a massi...

Thank you for the loves and like. Much appreciated. Nice comments from the long term CW gentlemen collectors, Jscott and Larksel. I'm grateful.

Looks Italian to me, the silver metal is very bright as if it spent most of it life wrapped up in a drawer. I would date as late 19th, Grand Tour travel memento or novelty item. Thank you for posting.

HHO No issues here, I remember providing this image to you, from my Pinterest board for glass documentation, I copied it several years ago, did not remember from where, and the image as it is copied ...

HHO very nice of you to say so, experienced collectors of old used to say that at some point, you realise 'the more you know the less you know', as your scope increases and the field becomes more comp...

my very first collection was focused on Ebay's Chinese modern (PROC) hand painted fine white porcelain export items, of little value because there was so much of it, this was 20 years ago. I liked it ...

Thanks Jim and Jenny, glad you commented. Thank you Cw members, appreciate the nods.

thank you for the love, CW collectors, always appreciated.

Hi Phil. that makes sense, the art nouveau colors and decors. I have a third page coming up from the same group of images. Dating might be earlier in 19th, 1880-1900. Tks.

Thanks for the loves my CW friends, always appreciated, especially these days we are still struggling with disease and economic stresses. Best - Lisa

Thank you for the loves CW members, glad you approve of this great green decor Czech glass vase.

Thank you for the loves and comments CW members.

that is really good information Ales, it gives a wider view of the Steinwald glass production from earlier in the 20th century decors and glass pieces. Your example is one that I have always like, ...

I often wonder about these antique Bohemian glass items in Czech Republic Museums, and when they were acquired and from whom? The British museums such as the Victoria and Albert decorative arts est...

Thank you CW members, for the positive support of my post. Always appreciated from those members who have keen enthusiasm that never wanes.

Ales thank you so much for your comments, there is nothing more valuable than living in the country where this glass was produced and having an understanding with knowledge of background facts and imp...

Happy to revisit this post, as I recently came across some old documentation I had that shows this exact decanter glass owl, in a Chicago wholesale catalog. https://i.pinimg.com/564x/7d/8f/eb/7d8feb...

Thank you for the loves, this post emphasizes that we will continually have new information as the years go by. We must be flexible and accept that fact with good grace if we can.

Thank you RichmondLori for the fine comment, gladd you enjoyed the post. Thank you CW members for the loves, always appreciated.

Recently I have been doing some research into the Harrach version of the tango glass decors during 1920s. There is much documentation regarding shapes, colors, items, and overall style of Harrach tang...

Thanks Karen, I was thinking about you for some reason when I posted today. That is a good one, just shows nobody knows everything there is to know. Hope you and yours are well.

Thank you for the fine comments and the loves, CW members, always appreciated.

hello kivatinitz. I have the same shape box but with a deep red oxblood spatter with gray and white on a bright red interior glass surface, and added clear glass layers. Makes for a subtantial piece o...

Mae76, you are welcome, I tried to find another Wilkinson Imari piece from the 19th. There is much more antique ware from the producer Royal Straffordshire Pottery on hand. Tks.
