No-one likes general adverts, and ours hadn't been updated for ages, so we're having a clear-out and a change round to make the new ones useful to you. These new adverts bring in a small amount to help pay for the board and keep it free for you to use, so please do use them whenever you can, Let our links help you find great books on glass or a new piece for your collection. Thank you for supporting the Board.

Another from the weekend,to me it looks like it might have some age?20 cm wd and 6 cm height,it rings with a long high note sustain, has a few small air bubbles as well as some white bits encased in the glass,another thing that drew me to it,apart from being the only piece of glass on a dolls table ???,was the amount of ware,happily no tear.Has anyone got a clue to the date it may have been made and for what use,many thanks..

fwiw our local charity shop has an identical one - and I have not been tempted to possess it. It's been there for 3 weeks.

If i had been able to place it, either in time or geographically, i might have picked it up. But it is well made, nicely finished and designed.  Other than that, no news i'm afraid.
