Topic: Glass Finds In One Afternoon

The Stennett-Willson candle holder is your star turn here. I don't know current trends as I have been out of action for some time, but when I was collecting and selling Stennett-Willson a few years ago, these 9 ring holders were fetching 4-figure sums regularly and easily. Just shows there are still amazing bargains to be found.

RP — Easy to spell Stennett-Willson:-

Double barrelled name, so double every letter you can.

It's the only difficult name I can always remember.   Most of the glassie names we need are in Ivo's Glass fact file a–z, one of many reasons why I always have it with me (together with a magnifying glass).

Just waiting for Ivo's book to arrive from Amazon. Bought it a couple of days ago - long overdue!

The one I got yesterday is Holmegaard unless I'm greatly mistaken. We cant comment as I've not put a photo up.

Put some photos up then ... :thup:

If it's this vase you're talking about (link below) then as Nic has already stated it's not Holmegaard but most likely modern Far East production.  Still very decorative though, but nonetheless not Holmegaard.

Well done on your finds   It is very exciting to get real bargains

I don't seem to find anything much nowadays, too many dealers looking for the same things in my area.  I did have a lovely time on holiday searching new areas, although my family find it very boring and drag me away

There's not an exact match here, as the 'Holmegaard' vase is considerably newer than these from the 1970s, but hopefully this advert for Dalian of China will illustrate at least a quality and colour match:

And this advert for Holmegaard 'Carnaby', which represents most of their decorative cased glass output, to show how the vase in question is nothing like Holmegaard's output in terms of shape, thickness, colour or style:

I wouldnt get caught out with Chinese 'Holmegaard' these days, my glass skills are more honed though I still have rooms full of un-id'd glass.

The Sheringham sold for £765 & the buyer showed it off a couple of years ago as his star piece of Stennet Willson glass on Antiques Road Show. He used to work with him.

Nic, thank-you so much for your knowledgable and reliable input here 
- I now know I have a pair of Hirschberg red vases/candlesticks - they're exactly like the one you show!
(I had thought they might be Japanese....  )

I hadn't seen it before, and I'm still grateful to Nic for the id, no matter when it first appeared.
