Post by: oldglassman on June 07, 2011, 11:17:08 AM
HI All ,
            Well!!   here is a departure for me ,following the recent discussions on this artist and having seen the exhibition at Cambridge I have been looking around for some Komaromy pieces to buy , so far this is what has arrived , the tallest is 11 1/2 ins and the other 9 1/2 ins including bases , both are in perfect condition, if anyone would like copies of the full size images , just email.

Thanks all for the comments ,
                                         An odd addition to my collecting but after seeing the exhibition at the Cambridge Glass fair I was so impressed with the skill and artistry of this guys work I just had to have some pieces, the 2 horses also came with one of Komaromy's little handbooks about himself and his creations ,so i think the horses may have been bought new by the last owner.

anyway , any dancers out there for sale ? , would look good between the 2 horses i think .

Cheers ,
               Peter.

   Sorry Rosie,  :cry:
                       They were spotted in an auction while I was trolling for Georgian glass , saw them, and had to have them,so I am afraid they will be staying here ,despite the very inviting cuppa ,  :t:

cheers,
      Peter.

 :cry: Sorry 'bout that......thought for a moment you might have wanted to share them!! One each perhaps and a fortnightly loan of the dancer??

Seriously though,  I am thrilled for you.....I know how I felt about getting the dancer.....Lady Luck shines on us all occasionally, and this time it was your turn. Enoy them Peter....they are very very special.

Well done Rosie  :smg:  :hiclp:, I pondered too long on whether to make an offer,and when a couple of items a few hundred years older became available the decision was made , glad you got them,in my opinion this long forgotten master craftsmans work will only gain in popularity and price in the coming years , so any that can be bought ,should be .

Cheers ,
           Peter.
