Topic: Scottish Glass Bowl - flowers to base, label

[josordoni]

Hi

Could you help please with this little bowl?  Very pretty flowers to the base, with a paper label to the underside Made in Scotland with a thistle - a handwritten notation C3 on this label.

I have looked through Scotland's Glass, but can't seem to find this label, although I may have missed it.

Does anyone know who might have made this please?

thanks,

[Gary]

Hi
No expert but just a thought, John Deacons could be a possibilty.

Thanks Gary, I am hoping Frank (or another Scottish Glass expert) might recognise the label.

Let me know if you want this moved to paperweights Lynne. x

Hi Max - yes please, Frank has mailed me and thinks it may well be Deacons as well, but suggests it is moved to Paperweights.

Odd no-one recognises the label?

I am not good on such labels but it does look like a John Deacons one - and the setting of the lampwork flowers also looks like his work.

Are there actually two labels, one over the other? There is certainly a "shadow" of part of "Scotland" and also part of "Made". However, at the start of "in", there seems to be a dark stroke connected to the "I" which is not just a shadow below an upper surface.

And the "C.3" looks to me to be hand written on the 'lower label' (i.e. the shadowy one). This may be just an owner's or dealer's personal coding rather than anything actually connected with the labelling or the weight.

Hi Kev, there are two labels,  one on top of each other, the photo was taken shortly after the bowl had been washed so the labels are damp and slightly transparent.  Now it is dry you don't see the shadow through (I think the labels are the same, but not at the same angle) The C 3 is definitely hand written on the top label.

 Yes, I'm fairly sure that it's John Deacons.  I have a sort of almost identical bowl, the colours of the two main flowers in mine are reversed, the centre cane of all the flowers on mine are all black and are made up of many thin black rods,  but,there is the same label to the base and my bowl has an "St K" cane at the base of the flower stems.


  I'll post some pictures later when I get the chance.

Riki has beaten me to it - but some time ago there also was a paperweight on ebay, almost the same design, with an StK cane - but no image of the base (or label) included. So we seem to agree it's a John Deacons dish.

For the label: Deacons has used "general" made in Scotland labels with a thistle (before getting labels with his name on) - but this one is new to me. So - as Riki confirms to have exactly this label on a Deacons item, I'll add it to my label collection ;-).
