Glass / Possible Monart/Vastart or Nazeing Vase with blue aventurine base
« Last post by mfosterky on Yesterday at 07:54:22 PM »Came across this vase last week. After some initial research texture seems most like Monart/Vastart or Nazeing. Although the form does not seem like them. However I am quite uneducated on this type of english glass. And would appreciate any other leads on possible manufacturers of this type of glass.
The dimensions are:
Height: 12 & 1/4th in.
Base: 3 & 1/4 in.
Mouth (outer edge) 3 & 1/2 in.

Glass / Re: Clear pressed glass creamer decorated with Royal coat of arms of the U.K.
« Last post by agincourt17 on Yesterday at 07:29:12 PM »That heavy scalloped foot doesn’t accord with any of the Greener designs that I have on file, Christine.
The nearest pieces that I have been able to find with that heavy scalloped foot appear on pieces from the late 1850s or early 1860s (and there are certainly lots of designs, registered and unregistered, on Neil Harris’s Manchester glass website https://sites.google.com/site/molwebbhistory/Home in similar vein). I’m also minded towards the same sort of date by the knopped stem.
The nearest significant Royal events within that time frame would seem to be Prince Albert’s death in December 1861 and Victoria’s Silver Jubilee in June 1862.
I suppose another option could be tableware for the Royal households – but would Queen Victoria really have been amused to see common pressed glass on show…..?

Glass / Re: Aventurine and green vase, black ground
« Last post by flying free on Yesterday at 07:13:14 PM »Adding for reference - an interesting label on this listing
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171041823178?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
An aventurine vase on black in a similar shape to the ones I posted above but much much bigger 8.5" tall and the label on it is round with gold writing on black it look like
around the top it read CREAZIONE 'SUSY'
centered in the middle down the label it then says
'TIPO
MURANO
MADE in ITALY'
Looks like at least two fonts used and differing sizes.
The aventurine it nothing like that on my vases above.

Glass Paperweights / Re: ID?
« Last post by daveweight on Yesterday at 07:01:09 PM »Hi Mildawg
These encased flowers are not seen very often but a variety of them were made including a nice single rose, I am reluctant to say they are rare but I bought mine in Venice and saw a few others in the shop
