What's your Favourite 3 pieces ?
« on: April 13, 2013, 10:25:31 PM »
As requested... I was wondering which are my favourite 3 pieces of glass and decided these (well today they are  ;) )

What 3 pieces (no cheating only 3 !!) would you choose and why ?

a lovely selection Keith - and  oh so hard to choose! 

1)  Holmegaard  Kraveskaal bowl  - a perennial favourite
2) William Manson Overlay Paperweight - Flowers and butterfly 1 of 10
3) Murano sommerso triple cased vase


But ask me next week and all could change!

I could not choose my favourite 3 Monart pieces so I have picked my favourite 3 non Monart.

1/ Classic Vasart tulip lamp and still being used.
2/ Peter Holmes paperweight, the one and only paperweight that I have bought at an auction.
3/ Franco Tofollo one of a pair I commissioned Franco to make for me.

 :) Like Gary, I had to do some restricting - so these are my best very early british-ish studio glass pieces.

Oh crikey, how could I limit it to just 3???!!!  :'(

OK, so disregarding the trinket sets, all of which I find fascinating, I've chosen three pieces by contemporary makers, because they are so different from the rest of my collection!

1. Andrew Sanders bowl
2. Allister Malcolm bowl
3. Uredale bauble

A hard task really... At the moment I´d choose these:
1. Josef Inwald Barolac lidded box
2. Franz Welz fan-shaped knuckles vase
3. Karl Wiedmann Gralglas ´Fumaris´ vase

Thank you.  ;D
Sue, I´d take your Sam Herman in return - I like silver chloride on glass.
And Keith... well, I´m sure I´d be having as much problems to only pick three pieces
from your collection like I had with mine.
