A great display Steph, an interesting and diverse range of quality glass that is bound to pique the interest of several GMB members from different sections of the board,

Rose - I've just looked at 'Bertha', she's signed by a Kment Jan, no idea what she weighs, but she's no lightweight. I'll weigh her tomorrow out of interest.  :wsh: now I really am off to bed.  :rah: night night, steph. :kissy:

Just thought, Jindrich might know something about KJ I'll have to ask him.

Here's another small grouping which I have recently put together of Czech brickwork glass vases, 3 designed by Jiri Zejmon and another thrown in by Jiri Brabec in the second photo.

Steph, gorgeous - (and organised, and dusted  :P ) what is the lovely piece in pic 12 (squat cylinder vase, thick and purples and bloues.)

I want your Blowzone! I've wanted one of those Blowzone bits for years, my brother won't let me have any. :cry: :cry: :cry:

I love that vaseline/cranberry coffee table display!  I am VERY partial to those two colors together!

A few more groupings from my collection:
SOMERSET (Rd. 254027) by Geo. Davidson:
http://www.vaselineglass.org/somersetgroup1.jpg

IRIS WITH MEANDER by Jefferson Glass (USA 1903-1905).  This is every shape made in vaseline opalescent:
http://www.vaselineglass.org/irisgroup.jpg

This is glass from a one-man shop in Washington State, USA.  All pieces made by Jack Loranger.  If you can come up with an idea on something you would like made in glass, Jack will try to make it for you.

RETICULATED CORD by O'Hara Glass Co. (USA, during EAPG era). This collection is a work in progress.
http://www.vaselineglass.org/reticulatedcordLL.jpg

And...This was made by Richard Golding (OKRA GLASS) and it is his BLOSSOM pattern.  It was a commissioned piece and the first time he ever made a water set and the first time he ever made anything out of vaseline glass.  Each piece is fully signed and dated.  Seven tumblers were made, in case one was broken in shipping to the USA.  I love how the sunlight caught the edge of the far left tumbler.  All of the glasses will do that, but did not show in the photo.  For those not familiar with Golding's work:  None of the colors you see are painted on and everything you see is glass.
