British & Irish Glass / Re: Textured &d ribbed clear glass bowl - ID = John Clappison for Ravenhead
« Last post by chriscooper on Yesterday at 04:20:37 PM »
I suppose opinions differ m, but it is well documented that in the '70s Raven head 'ripped off many of the popular but more expensive Whitefriars glassware designs with cheaper copies of their own, I think ? they even sued them over the 'White Fire' design. Copied the bark vases too and and the textured drink ware like the glacier tumblers see some examples here.............
For me far inferior quality..

I know Whitefriars 'ripped' off a lot of the Scandinavian designers too over the years too but at least the quality was there.

Glass / Re: Philip Jacobs or is it.

Doing a bit of lateral thinking, I wondered if this might be by Philip Jacobs the UK fabric designer? We know that designers get asked to do all sorts of things, not just what they are best known for - so it's perhaps worth an ask? http://www.flickr.com/people/philipjacobs/

Bohemia, Czechoslovakia, Czech Republic, Austria / Possible Milan Metelak bowl - ID
« Last post by OX151 on Yesterday at 04:00:55 PM »
Hi.  This bowl reminds me of Metelaks design for Harrachov.  The bubbles have tiny silver inclusions.  Any thoughts? Thanks

And it would be even better still if you would be kind enough to post the images directly to the gmb, rather than to a link which may see the images vanish later on...  :)

Really?    I see this bowl as far superior to the design of the Whitefriars one.
The photos are great but it's a hard one to photograph and show how stunning it is.  It's a gorgeous design.

Hi Mildawg

I have seen one or two very pale antique American scrambles, with a few bits of blue and white ribbon, but the canes in this are quite loosely spaced compared to most American scrambles I have seen. I don't recall seeing a scramble that was definitely attributed to Gillinder, but maybe someone one GMB can help on that.  I would certainly not rule out Old English, but it would be nice to see the canes more clearly - if you can get better images that would be great.

Another case of a Ravenhead copy of a Whitefriars design or so they say.
Topaz I think the range was called....

Thanks to both of you.  Dave your weight looks so much better with the dark background. Is this a common sulphide?  I don't believe I have seen it before.

Alan,  I will see what I can do with getting better pics.  My thought is Old English.  When you say antique America what factories falls into that category?  To me it just doesn't have the look of an NEGC or Sandwich, Gillinder maybe?
