I really meant one of the specialist glass fairs - The National or Cambridge.

Another really good way to to get to grips with glass better is to watch glassmakers in action - find out how it's made, learn about the different techniques used and how difficult a piece would be to make.
 
From that, you will be able to judge the skill needed to make a piece you find, and be able to understand what is good and what isn't so good.

i've got the eye for it & know most of the techniques, its the id's that are getting to be a problem. its only for ebay realy I neen exact id's. I enjoy having a good descusion on atributing pieces on a stall, but that dont get the good prices i need at the moment.

The rims of these two have been 'sculpted' & ground into shape quite hevely. the edge of the base has also been ground & polished. i'm still out on these  :usd:

my problem with some fairs is as a religious Jewish person I'm unavailible from friday eve to saturday eve & sundays i'm out scouting boot fairs from 6 till 12

If you get the chance more photos might help pin down an id, they look as much Czech as they do Scandinavian to me.

I'm going to do that tomorow, they are filthy, i've got them soaking in a citric acid solution to try and shift the muck from inside at the moment.
There certainly an intresting pair. I'll photo the rims close up as well.

I hope that I wasn't too discouraging. I wasn't saying that they weren't quality glass; in fact, they're something I'd consider buying. But I don't think they're Palmqvist. I know you never say never in glass, but Palmqvist pieces are invariably signed. Czech seems a good place to look.
