Sue that is excellent news - I will gladly buy such a book, it's a long time coming - Harris has long been overlooked while Baxter and Thrower etc. have had major exhibitions - I mean look at what he did in his career, it's amazing

I applaud your help with the IOW site and will be interested to see how that develops, can anyone join?

You now know that makes you the authority on this board for all IOW glass tee hee :twisted:  :twisted:

LOL

Just kidding

Look at this one Barbara - really nice pic but a more common colour than yours and it's not signed with a lovely label

I know it's 3" but what else is rare about it that it is going for broke, I have had blue swirls like this, God I have a red one with silver in it that will not sell - huh - eBay .......  :x  :x  :x

Woops I hope that was not a GM board members item - to be fair it's a good weekend for IOW

 - is this a 'Summer Fruits' vase and paperweight? I can't tell from photo

Also what do you think this is IOW or Mdina has a ground polished base with no mark - had it for ages and since we are on the subject and I have had too much caffeine LOL

Me, an authority!!!??? - not I, just an enthusiast. :cry:

Mark Hill is here sometimes, and he and Ron Wheeler (who is registered) are the only ones I would consider to be authorities, apart from the Harris family themselves. The article from the Glass Cone, kindly put here originally by Patrick Hogan in answer to a query by me seems to be the only new reliable information since Lesley Jackson. (Elizabeth Harris told me she spent a long time with LJ trying to ensure the information was correct. NB, she did not say that it was - I still don't know exactly when the Boffos joined. The Glass Cone article suggests that it was after Mdina was established rather than at the beginning.)

I too, am eagerly waiting the publication of the book.

The vase and paperweight you showed are not "Summer Fruits", I don't think. I suspect they may be "Pine Kyoto", I can't really see if there is a thin line of green around the rim of the vase.  :?

The last piece you showed is Mdina. :D

David555:
Thanks Sue

I was thinking Mdina, shame it's not signed - but it is lovely with the brown and the opalescent blue streaking through, only bit I have that is not signed :shock:

Barbara - I hope the auction goes well; these bits deserve to get top cash

Glen:
Just thought I'd add that I've just returned from a few days away - during which I spent an amazing afternoon with Timothy Harris at the Isle of Wight Glass. It was truly unforgettable. (And yes, we did buy a very beautiful piece of glass ,too)

I'll be writing a full feature article, with lots of photos and illustrations of just about everything, very shortly.

Glen
