Topic: Are these Vallerysthal ?

[Sue C]

Hi all, been away for a bit but getting back into my glass, anyway two lovely little glass boxes 4ins (10cm) long 1 1/2 ins (3cm) high.
At one time highly gilded and uv reactive, any ideas?

Obviously not really, Sue Unable to get a link for you, I'm afraid
Also Portieiux did not show off
Fenne: no reply
it's so nice and I wished I could have been of help -sorry
Vallérysthal: nothing matched

[Sklounion]

Sorry, Sue,
I followed (probably) the same route as my much respected, and loved, Pamela.
Vallerysthal/Portieux has not thrown up any answers....
You might wait a while, but we will find it one day.
(Probably tomorrow, judging by what happens the day after the Sklo Union text went to the publisher  )
Regards,
M

 :huh: not sure what you mean Pamela, Portieux cold decoration was extremely flamboyant, I have a colour catalogue. Lots of gold and over-natural colourings.

What are these called in French, catalogue to large to browse.

I think these are Dithridge & Co., late 1800s.

[Sklounion]

Sue, if these are Dithridge, as suggested, you might drop Shirley Smith a line.
If memory serves, I think she is a member of this board, and may have knowledge of Dithridge catalogues.

Thanks everyone for your input, and i now realise this what is called custard glass, the photo's make them look more white than the creamy yellowish colour they are.

Marcus and Galle i shall investigate Dithridge & Co, thank you.
Marcus i have no way of contacting Shirley Smith, do you?

[Sklounion]

Hi Sue,
leave it with me, I'll see what I can do.
Regards,
Marcus

Hi Sue, No sooner said than done.  You will find Shirley's email addie if you go to Glass Books on this Board. You are looking for the book on Hen on Nests.
