What a great site.  I have ploughed through that site and come to the conclusion it must be German.  I have also found that I do have another German decanter as one of my triple ring mushroom top decanters has exactly the same oak leaf motif listed as a similar triple ring mushroom top decanter, listed as Biedermeier.

Now the dilemma; what do I do with 2 rather nice German cockoos in my English nest, are there other unknown foreigners?  I have already let some Venetians in, and my house can only take so much.  Collecting glass has become so much like world politics. LOL

To introduce myself, I have been collecting glass about 20 years.  I started with decanters, but it quickly diversified.  I particularly like early Whitefriars.

Kevin.

Honestly, I was only joking.  It's really about the philosophy of collecting.  Are we collecting like a stamp collector trying to fill in the gaps you have got or get rare colours etc.. or going for the the asthetic and know no boundaries.  I go for the asthetic but try to stay within boundaries, but when you see something quality, beautiful, skillfull and cheap, boundaries are there to be broken.

I have a pair of green carafes with prunts on and a roemer style bowl, I think they are German too.  That German glass website has been a learning experience.

JP is going over the top again Kevin because he will makes jokes and remarks that not everyone appreciates from a PC viewpoint and gets some of his comments pulled. There is nothing non-PC in your comments, so no need to apologise.

Glass Message Board = discussions about glass; not politics, spelling, political correctness, or any other old codswallop (although of the aforesaid, codswallop does have a glass connection! ;D)
