Welcome, yet again.

Hang in there Davtho,

I find the answers to attribution questions completely by chance - often whilst I'm trying to ID something else. The key to any find of collecting is to buy what you like. Establish your own rules as you go along. Enjoy the learning process and hope the mistakes don't cost you too much.

If this is your first piece of glass then you obviously have an eye for the unusual. It's a nice piece of glass and I would have bought it if I'd seen it and it had been the right price.

And a wonderful and exciting way to improve your understanding is to learn about how glass is made.
There are a fair few places you can go to watch glassmakers at work, if you tell us your rough location I'm sure we can point you in some interesting direction or other.

Once you've got hold of the idea of all the technical difficulties, you can make better judgements of the quality of a piece.  :thup:

Besides, it's just absolutely gob-smackingly fascinating to watch.  :smg:

Thanks, it was from a charity shop for my wifes birthday, she loved it and now has special memories for me and my Son, I think I paid £20.00, to me worth every penny.

Hi, I am from Newcastle.  The only place I know of is the Glass Centre in Sunderland, which I am planning on visiting, but if you know of others please let me know, I would love to learn how they work with glass.

A great place to start!  :thup:
