Sabino ashtray history
tortentaumel:
i think we need to differenciate between the american company and Ernest Marius Sabino.
I would like to believe that he himself never would have made such harsh comments.
It might have to do with the location of Sabino in Texas. It's just a different culture than
the europeean art of communication. But i must admit that i was pretty upset about their
statements. I still love opalescent Sabino stuff and i own quite a number of objects.
Sabino america cannot spoil my desire for the antique objects ,prefarably made before 1963.
chopin-liszt:
I agree completely. I have always preferred Sabino to Lalique - I like Barolac and Jobling too.
I've got a thing about opalescent glass, but I don't collect it.
Now I don't know when my butterfly was made! It is marked "Sabino France" in flowing script, I can't tell if it is engraved or etched.
Surely it wouldn't be marked "France" if it was made in america?
tortentaumel:
I don't know about the sign america uses, but there are Sabino France and Sabino Paris signed objects.
The once with Sabino Paris sign where made for the french market to my knowledge whilst the France ones
where to be exported to america. I also have this thing about opalescent glass and it's effect when sun shines through.
I can't look away from it and it fascinates me every time.
tortentaumel:
this is my little collection of opalescent glass. Some of it is contemporary stuff but i don't care.
I used to have more Sabino objects especially trays but they got smashed by our kittens.
chopin-liszt:
Lovely - it's like having your own private sunset - those few precious moments, just before the sun really vanishes.
::) The joy of felines!
What you need is stuff called "Museum Gel". It will "stick" your glass to the surface it is sitting on.
Or train your kittens better! When we got our newest cat, I placed lemons all around my glass shelves, particularly near the bottom.
Then I just ignored her if she went near them - (although my heart was in my mouth!).
Now she pays no attention to it at all, even though it would be an adventure playground for her.
But she's not a fancy pedigree with their sometimes difficult behaviours - just a "wee moggie".
