Glass / Re: Glass Tray with Light Green and Pink coloration of Flowers
« Last post by chopin-liszt on November 12, 2018, 08:34:36 PM »
Have a web search on "Walther" glas.
It's German, (hence the single s at the end of glass) and not terribly old. You should be able to find a replacement fairly easily.
I would suggest hunting around a bit, to find the best priced one.

Good luck. :)
It's horrible when you lose something that has come to mean something to you.

Oh I'm so sorry to hear that, aren't people sometimes miserable.

I think it's lovely trying to find a replacement and hopefully it can be identified.

Would it be possible to post an image of the whole item? Sometimes patterns are rare but shapes/models are not and perhaps this might help.

Glass / Glass Tray with Light Green and Pink coloration of Flowers
« Last post by Fendletruck on November 12, 2018, 07:41:22 PM »
As a wedding gift, my wife received a round glass cake tray, and a rectangular glass tray that matched it.

We unfortunately used the rectangular tray at a potluck, and it was stolen....

It was important to my wife, and I'd love to replace it, but I have never seen a one like it before.

We've been married for 5 years, but I don't have a clue how old the tray was.
We aren't even completely sure who we received it from.

I have the larger round tray (which is about 15" diameter) so I hoped to find manufacturer information on it somewhere.
No luck, no info at all. Nothing stamped, no country of origin, no sticker.

I put a napkin behind it for the attached picture because the coloration is very faint, quite difficult to see.
The tray was roughly 15" long and 7" wide, but those dimensions are approximate.

It's possible that this is just a mundane glass tray, maybe nothing too special, but I'm very interested in replacing it, and I don't mind paying several times it's worth to get it.

Thank you for your assistance.

Glass / Re: Is this a Lace makers light aid?
« Last post by chopin-liszt on November 12, 2018, 05:22:28 PM »
Welcome to the board and thanks for posting your images directly here and enlargable. It is much appreciated.  :)
A lace-maker's light enhancer would certainly seem to be a reasonable assumption to make.
I don't know much about older glass, couldn't possibly give you any help with origins or a maker, but have you tried it out yet with a candle to see if it actually does magnify the light?

I could be wrong.

and I've just realised the pontil mark isn't how I remembered it.  Apologies if I am wrong.

I can't find any connection between Paul Barcroft and Selkirk, which I wanted to, m, because of my opalescent glass use theory.
If Paul Barcroft uses opalescent glass, I'll have to add that in as a potential confounder.  ;D

Hi Sue

I put a small amount of fairy liquid on the rim and just held it in some warm water for a short while. It then released  :) 

Thank you Ross for your tip as well, I will remember these tips for the future.

No, it's Kralik and Mike posted a sheet of Kralik references earlier with the designs on it.

I know this is a little out of left field but I am wondering if it might be Edo Kiriko glass from Japan.  Their overlays tend to be quite thick and the cutting very precise.  Orange also happens to be a favoured colour in many Japanese items.
