Topic: Little glass cottage.....??Maker.

[rosieposie]

Hi I bought this little glass cottage about a year ago, and have never been able to find out who made it.  It is about 4" long and the base is quite roughly finished.  It is pressed glass and has a few bubbles in it.  I bought it because I thought I could use it to put a tea light in,  but the chimney is not patent, so I can't!
I thought it might be Scandinavian,  but I now have my doubts.
Can anyone help with the maker please??

looks thatched so it will rather be from the wetlands not from the rocky nordic lands...

oh, I don't know  -  cud be that the Vikings might have had a hankering for some chocolate box dream of a thatched roof :usd:      But seriously rosie, what do you mean you can't because the chimney is not patent  -  sorry to seem thick (I'm not usually so dim - sometimes even reasonably bright - I think)    Personally I think most people's idea of an idyllic cottage would include a thatched roof.

patent = open as far as I know Paul
perhaps something to do with Rosie's nursing  and a Patent Ductus Arteriosis    I only know this because my son had this heart problem

Paul:  If you put a candle in a jamjar, it will burn.  If you put the lid on, the flame is starved of oxygen, and then is extinguished.  If you put this cottage over the candle, the flame will go out because there is no oxygen.  If the chimney were patent (open, thank you flying free!!) then there would be an orifice (that's an opening!) for the smoke to escape and the oxygen to enter and feed the flame!! :usd:


flying free: That is quite a serious condition for a little newborn baby,  and is much less common in boys, I do hope he is alright now.

Biology and science lessons over....who made this little cottage PLEASE???

[Paul S.]

all right.........all right............clever clogs ......then why can't we bothery well say 'open', you know I can't cope with difficult words  -  and anyway, sooooo,  I thought it meant a pair of black dancing shoes      thanks to both of you.       In view of your circumstances f.f., I hope you won't think my comments insensitive.

Rosie, yes he's doing ok and Paul, no not at all.  In fact it came in very handy recently when the plumber was explaining something about a patent valve or similar on our radiator, and I smugly sat there and resisted the urge to ask what it meant, even though I know he was expecting me to

Glad to hear he is doing well m (or ff).  Isn't it lovely when you can be smug and knowledgeable at the same time :rah:

Paul, I know you know a lot of long words....they are just different ones to mine!  :24:

Now, before we get pushd into the Café, WHO MADE MY COTTAGE PLEASE!!!!!

[KevinH]

Yeah, Rosie, I agree ...

... but shouting loudly in red might make some of us moderators consider your thread worthy of being "cafe'd" by your own actions
