Glass / Re: Swirled, opaque glass... incense holder? Signed
« Last post by chopin-liszt on September 18, 2018, 02:25:27 PM »
I've got a bit by this artist, which I bought from the states a few years ago and then forgot the name - I can't read it. It is Warren, I remember better after the prompt.
It too has just a tiny hole at the top, and lots of nodules on the body.
I don't think it has to be anything or for anything - that was the point of studio glass. It does not have to be functional. But you could stick a single flower in it and call it a "solifleur" if you want.
Piccies to follow.

I have discovered that the aquamarine vase was designed by Frantisek Peceny in the 1970's and produced by Hermanova Hut. Still researching the pattern number.

Hope this helps other glass lovers.

There is an ashtray with 3 pulled out corners, cased in cobalt. That was Mark Hill's (A few years ago, he may have sold it since.) and I have one with 3 amethyst corners added.

I've got something with a squished flame mark. It took somebody else's eagle eyes to make the flame out from what was left over. It didn't look like the coachbolt mark, it was flat, with squiggles in it. very confusing. ;D

Hi.
What the flame mark is there is a tool mark where the glass was cut that makes it look like a P so that’s where the confusion came about.
Nothing wrong with Perthshire glass at all.I love Monart glass and all the others in between in fact I would rather have a big lump of Monart over most glass although I am partial to the original output of Hartley wood too.
Just a lucky find which is why we trawl the inter web.
I will have a look at the comets and add some more images.Its really heavy too.

Nothing more to add other than there was some time ago a trial Tricorn bottle with a flanged top and broken pontil in browny colours which also included subtle pieces of amethyst, blues and yellows, also much smaller and reserved than those grand bottles shown. This is another shape on top of the 3 already suggested that are Tricorn in shape, Harris era and worth a mention. I sadly lack the knowledge to be able to link that thread to this one!

Fortunately, I now own this piece however  ;D

There were later triangular very chunky tricorn perfume bottles, with an Earthtones core.
These large deep flat pieces, are too closed over to be a bowl, for me.
A bowl is wide open and welcoming - this hides things.
But I couldn't call it a vase either.
You did have mine for a bit John, I take it it was that one?
I have seen one that was almost a ball, quite narrow but tall.
Different sizes and variations are to be expected. Nothing was made in particular sizes to start off with. They were not even trying to replicate pieces - a selling point was that each is absolutely unique.
It couldn't be anything else when they were using silver salts to create the colours in each, I really suspect they just didn't bother about sizes being accurate.

Lustrousstone,

Yes I see. Yours looks larger and flatter. Very similar in colour. Well I am glad I am not alone having one of these. I suppose vases are not one of those items you could stick in your luggage so they were not a great seller back in the day.

Yours is one of the few images I could ever find before I started asking on this website, where now John has shown me two more.

Thanks for the information.

Kind regards

Owen

I think there are just variations in the tricorn vases, as with much Mdina. Here's mine http://lustrousstone.co.uk/cpg/displayimage.php?pid=1321 http://lustrousstone.co.uk/cpg/displayimage.php?pid=1322

John,

We were posting at the same time so now I have seen the photos. My vase is somewhere between the two vases shown. Not as angular as the top one, but not as rounded as the bottom one. Could there be three sizes? Or is it just usual that there are quite significant differences in the same line?

Great to find those photos. It shows there are differences in the colours as well.

Thanks again for all your efforts.

Owen
