Help Please 3 weights.....all Chinese?
« on: July 19, 2010, 01:06:54 AM »
Hello,
     I am hoping all three of these pieces aren't Chinese imports.

1st is a clear glass with a translucent black, green and white speckle base design and has an orange pulled design ? over the center shape - smooth/polished base



2nd is a gray/smoke color with bubbles arranged around a center large bubble and has an unpolished base.....Chinese?




3rd is cobalt blue with a white design close to the surface with a smooth base.....Bombay Company?



I have made some :ha: (Bozo) purchases and all three of these could be added to the clunker box. I have a lot to learn!
Thanks for any comments,
Kim

Hi Kim

I doubt they are Chinese - but equally, I doubt they are of much greater value than if they were!  The first looks to me rather like one of the modern Czech pieces sold in various tourist shops across Europe.

The first one looks czech to me too.

I don't know about the second one.

The last is definitely Chinese. I got one just like it at the import store bearing a 'china' sticker.
I collect Scottish and Italian paperweights and anything else that strikes my fancy.
