Topic: Black Glass / Gold Vases - D'Humy, IOW, Stuart Strathearn...

[David E]

Another addition to this debate.

Looking through Lesley Jackson's 20th Century Factory Glass, p.18, I came across a photo of two A.Ve.M vases produced in 1950 that uses exactly the same process.

The d'Humy patent was in 1876 No 4217 and was for gold or any other leaf.

We must not confuse gold with aventurine i believe the Clutha vases by Dresser had copper aventurine in.jp

[Frank]

This thread is not about aventurine.

[johnphilip]

No but someone mentioned Dresser glass ie Clutha and on several threads lately people have said one when it was the other. sweet dreams :sleep:

The aubergine rim is polished, the black one is cut. :huh:

Perhaps it is Tweedsmuir or someone else then, certainly not Stuart Strathearn. Odd that it is such a close match on shape!
