And is the Great Glass attribution of Moser really what they are? I know we have discussed some similar pieces before but a thread I did find had lost the images. Even so, I don't recall an attribution being agreed

Kev, I know what you mean, I should have made it clear in the way I expressed my post above  :-[  .  However, I do find that on Great Glass if they aren't sure of an attribution then they say possibly or probably or just e.g 'Bohemian'.  Of course we all make mistakes, and the 'library' part of their site is sold items, so I guess info could be out of date if they don't keep the Library part updated where needed, but I think their site is excellent.  There are many pieces on that page, id'd as Moser.  And some id'd as Probably Moser.  I'm not suggesting that taking id's off the net is the right thing to do, but Great Glass is a very good source.

John it would be good to see enlarged pics, with a much closer look at the enamelling - are they holly leaves? :sun:

Never seen this type of raised enamel decoration and gilding in French glass - only in Italy and in Bohemia.

Jomo's certainly looks better than usual. Are plates a Bohemian thing? Maybe I've just never noticed any.

 Many Thanks to everyone for your replies!

   I will try to get some more pictures uploaded a bit later this evening, however I'm struggling with resizing them and they all end up quite small to conform to the maximum size allowed on the board!!!
 Anne, If I send you the original Pics would you be an  :angel: and resize them for me please? 
The Gilding on this Tray/Dish is very fine quality I must say and I do agree with Ivo that in that I thought Italian rather than French for this type of work.


                 Again, Many thanks to you all.



                    Warmest Wishes,

Close up, I'm much more inclined to go with Bohemian. Does it have a bright green glow under a UV light?

 Anne, Thank you Soooooooo Much!!! :kissy:


 Christine, I'm afraid I do not possess a UV light so am unable to say, Sorry :-[

   On these Pics you can see that some of the details are picked out in Silver.


                      Warmest Wishes,
