Fabulous stuff... both Rose and Otis....

I don't seem to be able to get away from early-ish studio glass...
Bjorn Weckstrom... foot (circa ~ '76 or shortly after)
Annette Meech... mushroom ('71)
Jim Megura ('85) - yes, Oldglassman's colleague who now has a career involving ancient glasses - he can often be found at the fairs over here.

That Vulcan Vase is mesmerising.  I'm glad you like my favourites Craig.  I was a bit hesitant in posting these, especially when you see what the other collectors have got.   Wow!  That's put me on a high again now, even with my current restrictions.

I did my three favorite European pieces now its U.S. & I am partial to the 1890s Brides Baskets eve if they are on the large side. These are all Mt. Washington although the middle & right melon shaped pictures were made for Smith Bros. Decorating Co. after the split from Mt. Washington.

Nice examples Ken, although I do not collect those, I secretly like them......  don't tell my wife......

Sue, does that goblet with the foot walk across the table  to bring you a drink?

It only moves when when I'm not looking, Craig. 
I believe there are only 5 foot goblets in total, this one is the only one which is not signed... which is why the decidedly jammy person who owns the other 4 let me have it. The modelling is absolutely superb - it might look slightly squint - but that is exactly how the bottom of somebody's leg would look, when standing - it would be balanced if it was one of a pair.
It does look "alive".
