Pressed Glass Art Deco Amethyst Gazelle....who might have made it please?
« on: October 14, 2011, 03:50:58 PM »
Hi all  :hi:
I had a wonderful day at the bootfair a couple of weeks ago, and amongst the pieces I bought was this lovely Amethyst Gazelle.

I am thinking it is Art Deco.  Not High quality as there are bubbles in the glass and it is a molded not hot worked piece.
But it does display nicely, especially with the sun shining through it.
It is 4.5" long, 3" high and 1.5" wide.
A few chips and nibbles but then those of us who are that old would be chipped and nibbled as well??

Have a look anyway, and if anyone knows when, where or who made it,  that would be the icing on the cake.

Thank you Janice,  I am beginning to think it might be even more special than I thought!  I just wish I knew a little more about it!
