Glass / Re: Lauscha lamp work lantern with drunken man in uranium
« Last post by flying free on April 23, 2024, 08:47:59 PM »
Possibly a spanner in the works and it's a very long time since I was researching some lampwork figures but I wonder if Jaroslav Brychta made some figures like this.  I could be completely wrong and unfortunately I cannot for the life of me remember where the catalogues are to have a look - so sorry.

Glass / Black glass enamelled ginger jar
« Last post by Franlow on April 23, 2024, 07:29:19 PM »
Hi Guys,
Can anyone identify this for me please. This is the lid of a black matt glass floral enamelled (or painted) ginger jar. I am really hoping top replace this for a really dear friend of mine. It was purchased 35 years ago by her children & she recently broke the base into too many pieces for it to be fixed. She is so upset it was her most treasured possession because of the story. This is the lid.Thanks for any help xx

Some more colours all with the lozenge, all with uranium but the top right doesn’t glow as bright.

Unfortunately I can’t seem to upload any more pics… due to the size restriction.  I thought you could post more per post?

Glass Paperweights / Customised Perthshire oddity/curiousity?
« Last post by Glassheart on April 23, 2024, 04:45:12 PM »
Dear all,
I stumbled across this curiosity at a bric & brac shop the other day.  Being a Perthshire fan,  I recognised the canes.  However,  if I’m not mistaken this is a customised weight which has been converted I think to a candleholder/ornament.  Correct me if I’m wrong but I think this started life as a pp52 Inkwell and maybe due to damage,  it’s had its neck and top sawn off and then smoothed over and made into a candleholder ornament.  What’s interesting is that it has Xmas canes,  you can see Santa,  Xmas tree, a sleigh and an odd looking face which I think is a snowman,  as it works well as a Xmas ornament!

I’ve never seen anything like it,  but cannot find it online anywhere which is why I think it’s been modified at some stage.  Would you all agree?

Glass / ID help please! Frosted blue pedestal bowl
« Last post by RSalmon on April 23, 2024, 02:16:00 PM »
Hi all, would really appreciate some help identifying this piece! I'm primarily keen to get an approx. date or any information about the design style, but the more info the better.

It has three mould seams, some small imperfections (bubbles and rippling) and no makers mark. I asked the woman I purchased from if she had any information about the age and she just said it was 'long before her time' and had belonged to her grandmother - I would guess her age at 50s/60s. From this and looking at other pieces online it seems possible that it could be 1930s, but I'm not confident.

Measurements:
4.5" base width
11" rim width
6.25" height
~2" pedestal height

The bowl I now think is actually a Matthew Turnbull No.121 pattern.

Glass / Re: need help identifying pair of glasses

From the ground rim finish and the yellow enamel under the gilding, I would say Bohemian/Czech. No idea on date though but probably pre WW2
