This past weekend as is my usual thing to do, went  antiquing.
Found some nice things but the winner has to be this.
I was thinking Bohemian, but imagine my surprise when I discovered it is in fact Stuart & Sons. It has the "Cairngorm" decoration and is listed as circa 1900s at www.great-glass.co.uk.

My question has to do with value. It is of course going into the "Collection"  but that nagging question of value does come up.

It stands about 4 inches high and is about 5 1/2 inches across.

Thanks Terry

I bought a piece with similar coloured trailing at the National, although it doesn't have the extra blue dot on the green  :(

Confirm no marks on mine, though

At the time somebody on the board - I think it might have been Bernard - said it could be by one of a number of the Stourbridge glasshouses who were using similar patterns at the turn of the century (before last  :roll: ).

I seem to recall paying about £70 for it - Sue, you were there, do you remember? - but I think yours is nicer so should be worth more  :P

glasswizard:
Leni, yours is lovely.

As to the prices I am hearing, lets say I made a very good buy. Upon entering the shop my heart fell  when I was confronted with all sorts of new chinese glass but way back in a dark corner sat this little gem. Only when we got outside in the sunshine and looked at it again did the blue centers show.

Then I knew I had something. And a big thank you is in order to Peter, who when I was describing what I thought was Bohemian, said no, sounds English and steered me in the right direction.

Now yours looks Bohemian, as opposed to the mainly Stuart ones we've seen in this forum so far. Possibly Harrach as Max suggested in one of these threads. Now where might I find a Harrach expert ....hmmm in the Market Place forum maybe ...................

Silver rims seem to be found mostly on Bohemian items and stylistically it has more of that feel too. I wonder if yours pre-dates the Stuart Cairngorm ones which were c1900 according to www.great-glass.co.uk ?
I have a feeling it might. What year does the hallmark date to ?

Of course the glass can pre-date the silver rim but it's a good place to spart.
