Topic: Isle of Wight Crackle glass Perfume Bottle with Fish Decorated Stopper

They look engraved and gilded

They do I know, cameras do tend to 'flatten' the detail unless you get the lighting right - shadow in just the right places. Appearances can be deceptive though and I trust they are actually cameo.
Timothy Harris is a very skilful glassmaker...

Thanks again.

I am more than happy for the pictures to be used by anyone  .

Hi Roy,

Your perfume bottle is from the Crizzle & Cameo range produced 1999 to 2001. I have a similar PB but with a floral cameo stopper (see attached picture). My bottle is signed "Timothy Harris IOW Glass England 2000 10/25".

I have several more examples of Crizzle & Cameo waiting in the wings. I will post them at http://iowstudioglass.wikidot.com/crizzlecameo in the next few hours.

Thanks for your input, Anton.
I have a small question - does the numbering of 10/25 refer to the total number of these PBs with cameo stoppers, (i.e. possibly all different stopper designs, and just 25 as the total maximum number of PBs)
or just to the number with the same floral design of stopper, i.e. that there could be up to 25 PBs in total with floral stoppers the same as yours.

And given Roy's isn't signed or numbered, could it have been deemed a second?

Thank you Anton for your reply.

And I think Sue has asked a couple of very interesting questions which I would be interested in your thoughts.

Nice bottle. Were there any actually any crizzle bottles with crizzle stoppers? I wouldn't be surprised if there weren't because I have a suspicion that this tricky technique is extremely difficult to do on a smaller scale...

If it were practical and economical, I'm sure they would have already found that variation to add, to make into a different range.
We still don't know if fish and flower cameo decorations on the stoppers are different (official) ranges though.

This is an image of my multicoloured Crizzle pb with a black "jester's hat"-style stopper.
