A bit more about Regent of London to add to Jayne's fascinating info above: https://warwickshireias.org/regent-of-london/

Lots more fascinating info there, thanks Anne.

Coincidentally, today I saw a 'Regent of London' Powder Compact for sale on eBay in a 'Harrods Regent of London' box!

Glass / Amber Pedestal Bowl Help with ID please
« Last post by Birkyc on Yesterday at 11:18:17 PM »
Does anyone recognise this bowl?

I have so far drawn a blank in my searches so hoping someone can shed some light on it.

Cut Pentagonal faceted panels around the top half of the exterior. 9.5cm tall, 17cm diameter, 820g in weight, ground base with no makers marks.

Im guessing it may be Art deco, 1930s maybe. It is quite distinctive and good quality, hopefully someone can provide some information.

Thank you

Germany / Brockwitz No.491 "Einsatz Kakadu"
« Last post by NevB on Yesterday at 01:11:30 PM »
From a boot sale on Sunday this is the rare 21.5cm. Kakadu/Cockatoo figurine shown here, Plate 15.

https://www.glas-musterbuch.de/Brockwitz-circa-1936-Farbent.180.0.html

I'm not sure about the 3-footed bowl which I found today, it is similar to the Brockwitz Globus pattern but I can't find it anywhere.

Bohemia, Czechoslovakia, Czech Republic, Austria / Heinrich Hoffman Uranium Trinket Box.
« Last post by NevB on Yesterday at 12:58:09 PM »
This is an 11 x 9 x 4cm. box which could be the No.586 pattern shown on P54 of the catalogue although there is no size reference.

Glass / Lauscha lamp work lantern with drunken man in uranium
« Last post by thewingedsphinx on April 16, 2024, 08:17:14 PM »
A bit of a risky blind buy, but it looked fun and worth the risk. Arrived in a soft box with little packing. Opened the packing extremely carefully and smiled as soon as I shone my torch on it. With some help,I think this is made by Lauscha Germany 1920’s. There are some similar on eBay in Germany in normal colours . I can’t find any similar in uranium and wondered if anyone has any good resources for this style of glass, thanks.

Glass / Cased Amethyst Trianglar Vase - Help with ID please
« Last post by Birkyc on April 16, 2024, 04:41:33 PM »
Any opinions on origin / maker / age for this vase would be appreciated.

It was given to me a couple of months ago, the lady who gave it to me thought it might be an old Ikea vase. Although it has a passing resemblance to the Okso vases, it is completely different. If it had been an Ikea vase I would have expected to find many examples on the web, not a single one that looks anything like it anywhere.

It does have a Scandinavian feel about it. Broadly triangular in shape coming to a sharp point on one edge from a 9.5cm flat spine, it is 39cm tall and 17cm at the widest point. It stands on a triangular ridged base. The vase weighs a hefty 1.7kg.

Any thoughts woud be welcome.

Glass / Re: Help w ID / Date Glass Vase maybe Georgian
« Last post by Glassine on April 15, 2024, 04:00:40 PM »
Thanks for the tip on Replacements.  I've been on their site but didn't realize that they have "search by image" which will be very useful.

On this piece I don't find a match but do see a few known-maker items with some similar features; and a few "unknown maker" items a little more similar.  Seeing what else is out there does help, especially if I can connect a date range.  The known-maker items are probably 20th-century (I'll look into those) which would square with your interesting observation on bottom wear.

Thanks!

As you say, it might be difficult to find a maker, if you haven't already looked replacements.com might help. It's not always a pointer but there doesn't seem to be enough wear on the base for it to be Georgian, perhaps early 20th. century.
