Help for Newby to Glass Please
« on: August 23, 2011, 06:16:37 PM »
I'm hoping someone may be able to help me.  I don't really know anything about how to identify glass and have a lovely small decanter and 6 shot glasses to match.  They are either engraved or etched in white with a Christmas scene and the glass is is a pinky orangy amaber.  I have attached a photo if the upload works.  If anyone can tell me anything about this item I would be very grateful..  The only thing I have come across that is similar is one with a hunting scene on it at an antique fair which was was described as being of french origin c1875.

Thanks in anticipation

 Hello Nina,   :hi:what a pretty decanter.....just in time for Christmas.

The mushroon shaped stopper reminds me of Scandinavian design.   
Would you be able to show a picture of the base please?

Hi Rosie

I have attached pic of base - it doesn't show anythingas far as I can see.  I have also taken a pic of the stopper top but the light hasn't done it justice.  It has a pretty * mark, just visible in part on the photo but very clear and precise

Welcome to the board. I believe these are French and something like 1950s, pretty common I'm afraid. The decoration is either a transfer or a screen print. Sometimes found with boats on as well.

Die Erfahrung lehrt, dass, wer auf irgendeinem Gebiet zu sammeln anfängt, eine Wandlung in seiner Seele anheben spürt. Er wird ein freudiger Mensch, den eine tiefere Teilnahme erfüllt, und ein offeneres Verständnis für die Dinge dieser Welt bewegt seine Seele.
Experience teaches that anyone who begins to collect in any field can feel a change in his soul. He becomes a joyful man filled with a deeper empathy, and a more open understanding moves his soul.
Alfred Lichtwark (1852-1914)

Hi Nina

I have the same thing but with multicoloured dots on them.  They're such fun.  I keep conditioner in it in the bathroom!
