Thanks all -- and Love seeing the other Pieces too.  They are a *must* for any person that collects Glass, IMHO  :rlz:  :24: :24:

I have a feeling that the rolled plate bits (the textured pieces) might be a Pilkington design.

What is Pilkington Design? 

Not sure, but I also bought this Candle (tea-light) holder with Green glass in it.  It is made of Brass too.  So I am thinking  :thud: that this green piece here might be an older piece (like maybe the 70's).  If I recall that kind of glass was popular in homes as a decorative accent -- so I am thinking this Green Tea light holder must be from around that era too.

Anyone know?  What is this design in the glass called on this Green piece?  It is Glass, not Plastic.  There is brass (and it is soldered together) in this piece.  The Size of this Tea light is about 8.5 inches tall, and wide.  Has a brass chain to hang it up with.

Kinda different.  Glass was used in SO many ways throughout the years :huh2:  :thup:

Hi.
It looks as though this is put together with copper foil and then soldered. Its very difficult to see from the pictures.

Pieces like this come in from all over Asia and the far East. Could also be home craft.
