Topic: (Themed) glass displays - show me yours, I'll show you mine... part 3

[selina]

Well this thread has got me cleaning my glass and sorting it out and yes I'm also moving it around....so here are some of my themes I put together... this theme...call it what you will

[selina]

And this one is my decorated theme..... any comments welcome and any info...I know the bird and bowl at back are Fenton... :spls:

[Lustrousstone]

Your top theme is Bohemian, I would say, as is most of your painted stuff. The amber one might be Harrach.

[selina]

Were they ever signed Christine? I've been looking over the painting...for something so beautiful on both I was sure Id find a signature...

Oh and I keep forgetting to sign my name...I used to do it before, I think I must have had it set and its all back to square one...and speaking of going back to square one...is the Sklo union expert missing from the board now?? Marcus?

Very little enamelled Bohemian stuff is signed and any signature is more likely to be the individual painter rather than the manufacturer (of the glass) or the refiner (a company that bought glass to decorate).

Marcus doesn't visit any more.

Go to your profile and add a signature there Trudy. Then you don't have to remember.

John Hobbs has asked us to put a picture of this pair of Whitefriars black swans on this thread.

Wow!  Nearly right.  But where is the glorious RED beak and hint of white feathers in the wing?

Which illustrate what a beautiful bird it is.
