No-one likes general adverts, and ours hadn't been updated for ages, so we're having a clear-out and a change round to make the new ones useful to you. These new adverts bring in a small amount to help pay for the board and keep it free for you to use, so please do use them whenever you can, Let our links help you find great books on glass or a new piece for your collection. Thank you for supporting the Board.

Base mark
« on: August 03, 2008, 03:23:32 PM »
Got this last weekend the person selling said it was from Malta but i do not recognise the base marks. it looks a bit like 3 &'s on top of 3 Pi symbols. Could be Chinese?

Looks like a good Guernsey Glass piece. So mark should be 3 lions. Search on board for examples of mark.

Hi Dave,
Check on Ebay, there are a few similar vases listed at the moment. They look quite promising, value wise.
