Glass / Opaline Glass Bottle/Flacon
« Last post by NevB on July 17, 2024, 01:17:51 PM »
With the type of gilding probably French, and with the snake most likely St.Louis. At 21cm. tall it might be a perfume bottle or possibly a cruet or water bottle. I assume the stopper is the original one although it is marked 14. and the bottle 35. It has a ground pontil and base and hard deposits on the bottom which look like a mixture of gold paint and something else. Date second half of 19th.C.

It will be interesting to see if there is any further information on these (the info I've found so far in Pressglas Korrespondenz runs from 2008-2014) but to me, the shape of yours is the same as the one in the Dyatkovo catalogue and isn't the same as the one in the Launay Hautin.

The person with the Russian uranium glass goblets referred to in the Pressglas Korrenspondenz was I believe Bernard from our message board based in UK

m, I've sent Mareike those two links, lets hope they help. One thing I'm curious about is the explanation that the 4 of the 1/4 mark is a catalogue number, it seems not quite right to me. I have doubts mine is a Russian glass, although pieces turn up in the most unlikely of places, in geographical terms, I think it is more likely French/German.

 In the link  there is an explanation about where these glasses have originated depending on the mark. There is a lot of research on PK.
Source: Pressglas Korrespondenz 2014-4

 It says

'PK 2014-4, SG: It has now been clarified what the numbers “1/4” pressed into the underside of the foot mean: 4 is the catalogue number of the pressed glass in MB Dyatkovo 1903. There are several pressed glasses with corresponding numbers in the Peltonen collection. It is very unlikely that the Fedorovsky brothers used similar or even identical catalogue numbers. The number “1/4” therefore clearly belongs to Dyatkovo 1903! And the monogram “БФ” definitely belongs to the Fedorovsky brothers / Fjodorovsky [Братья Федоровский]!'

I think Maltsov owned Dyatkovo glass btw.
The item in question is shown on Seite 12/16 here in the catalogue:
https://www.pressglas-korrespondenz.de/aktuelles/pdf/pk-2014-4w-sg-dyatkovo-pokal-gruen-1900.pdf


Could you send those links back to Mareike? I'm interested to know what PK say mostly because of the colour of your glass and whether the bowl shape matches.
They reference the Launay Hautin because the designs are very similar but it doesn't say those with this foot are Launay Hautin pieces.

Glass Paperweights / Re: Has anyone ever seen a paperweight this big?
« Last post by paperweights on July 16, 2024, 07:28:31 AM »
There have been some very large paperweights made for special displays.  Josh Simpson made a 100 pound (12 plus inch diameter) planet paperweight for the Corning Glass Museum.  He also offers smaller versions for sale ranging from marble size to megaplanets ranging up to 9 1/4".  There was a 6 1/2" diameter megaplanet on display at the May 2024 Paperweight Collectors Association convention in Providence, RI (USA).  I think the weight was 15 or 16 pounds.  Some collectors have bought extra large paperweights in Murano.  It takes a strong arm (more likely arms) and special equipment to make anything over 6".  When Josh made the 100 pound weight, he had to upgrade his studio equipment to handle the larger size and longer duration annealing required.  I have a couple of very large paperweights... I need to measure them.

Thanks m, if you scroll down to Seite 6 on the first link the uranium glass on the left is also very similar to mine, although the stem and foot are slightly different. Maker "probably Maltsov , 1857-ca. 1885", it also has the 1/4 mark moulded into the underside of the foot, from the collection of Bernard Cavalot.  Mine is slightly smaller at just under 14cm. and 9cm. I see they also reference the Baccarat 2426 glass and the similarity except for the rim of the foot, all very intriguing.
