Langham or not??? - ID = L Zanetti
rosieposie:
Thank you all once again :hi:......I am so please they are as nice as I thought.....trouble is you will all want them now! :cry:
I think I have got another piece somewhere in my huge collection so I will have a look....yes, I have had to pack some away, but can't bear to part with them!!
So that leads me on to the next question.....any ideas about who makes really good display cabinets to take a collection of about 500 pieces!!!!?
Hourglass:
It has occurred to me about displaying in cabinets but to display paperweights I think that you would have to build one from reinforced concrete and thick bulletproof glass in order to take the weight! Other glass items are not so problematic.
Paul S.:
just for interests sake - and should anyone not know what the Langham marks/labels look like. Unfortunately, I don't have examples of both variations of Paul Miller's signature - and I assume that this one is Rosie's more recent 'gentle script'. Tragically, the 'Thrush' has some damage to its beak (not my fault).
rosieposie:
Thank you Paul, yes you are correct that is what I term his gentler script and I think it is a later date....it may be the constraints of the engraving tool used at the time. I have examples which I will add and also a picture of the acid etched glass blower from much earlier pieces.
BTW I don't know if you have noticed, but the Dog & Duck (sounds like a pub :24:!!) have been de-listed :cry: :cry:
Probably my fault as I told the seller what they were....others as well I would think. I do hope he relists, as I had bids on them!!
I will get onto listing those pics anyway. :sun:
Paul S.:
Rosie - have to admit that I know very little about Langham - full stop. :-[ Oddly, I come across vey little in my jaunts around the charity shops and boot sales - possibly not my cup of tea anyway - and I try not to collect birds and animals if I can help it, although the Thrush is attractive. Hence for me the Dog and Duck really is a pub :24: - however, look forward to your additional pics. :)
