Didn't take our cameras this time (thank goodness for Rosie!  )  but J got a couple of pics with his phone.

Ray Annenberg and Brian Slingsby, both ex Whitefriars, examining a couple of rarities.

That is the first "banjo" I've liked.
Actually, probably the only textured wfs I've liked.  :spls:

Yellow glass again.......
But is it uranium?

Thanks for those pictures Leni.....I didn't get to meet you all on the W/F stand,  but I did buy an elephant from aa that he had put some of Ray Annenberg's Whiteriars canes in....it is so pretty and will go to my new Grandaughter when I pop my clogs!  I also bought a beautiful dark blue ellie as well from aa that will go to my Grandson......he is nearly nine and already showing an interest in glass.  I give him a piece now and then and his little face lights up.....nice to see him appreciate the art when he is so young.

Stop Press!
Extra Pictures added now they have been resized.
Text also added to most!
Enjoy!

[rosieposie]

I have now resized the pictures that wouldn't load, and added them to the collection.  Also added some text and comments to most of the pics.  If I have made any errors, please feel free to email me at the little envelope on the LHS and I will correct them.

That's a LOT of work Rosie - thank you so much for doing it so we can all share!

Pic 33/70 is a bit by Mike Hunter. Ron is including Mike's amazing work in his repertoire of top artists. :thup:

carrying on, I suspect the fabby filigrano owl with canes for eyes might be Mike Hunter too - in a pic called pwt row.

Thank you for that Sue....if you look at file 48/70, in the far background just behind a large green vase is a tall dark bottle....is this the signed Michael Harris one you were chatting about that cost £800?

[chopin-liszt]

It might be.  :spls:

Here's a pic of my two. Not signed by MH, though. They've got Said's signature on them.

File 17/70 shows work by glass artist Carrie Anne Funnell rather than by Robert Marris who sells antique drinking glasses etc.

Christina.

And there was me thinking Bob had diversified!
(Well, Jim Megura went from being a maker to selling very old glass - though I think some folk are trying to persuade him to do a U-turn. I certainly am.)
