Small Gillinder (?) Buddha
« on: December 29, 2015, 09:23:59 PM »
I believe this is a small Gillinder Buddha (3.25 in.) in jade uranium glass and from the 1930s. He's solid. Can anyone confirm please

Sorry Christine its neither Gillinder nor Cambridge. Base is totally different. Hair is close to OK but still not right. Hands not even close, open chest area not close. I don't think this is ours...I've never seen it. Here is a closed auction that shows the Gillinder Buddha. Ken

Thanks Ken. Mine's a much smaller chappie. I thought I'd found mention of a small Gillinder Buddha, now I can't...

Really! He's glass not jade (side seams) and definitely uranium glass. I also haven't found a picture of him yet

Christine, you won't find uranium glass on alibaba.com - but look for 'glow in dark glass'  ;D  8)

Die Erfahrung lehrt, dass, wer auf irgendeinem Gebiet zu sammeln anfängt, eine Wandlung in seiner Seele anheben spürt. Er wird ein freudiger Mensch, den eine tiefere Teilnahme erfüllt, und ein offeneres Verständnis für die Dinge dieser Welt bewegt seine Seele.
Experience teaches that anyone who begins to collect in any field can feel a change in his soul. He becomes a joyful man filled with a deeper empathy, and a more open understanding moves his soul.
Alfred Lichtwark (1852-1914)
