Topic: Blackwater Glass (spill vase with mouse) - can't find any info on this maker

[wolkenreb]

I have this lovely little spill vase which is labelled 'Blackwater Glass'.  I have searched the board and the net but can't find any references to Blackwater Glass.  Does anyone know anything about them?

An identical one sold on eBay last month: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/250987691388

It was sold in the UK so maybe British?

Thanks for that - it is one and the same - I bought it!

How many Blackwaters are there in the uk?
I'm sure there's one round about here - I used to get water samples from Blackwater for analysis when I worked for the Water Board.
(I love it, Nancy - it would be so nice to have..... along with a ton of Mouseman furniture...)

What a great skive, Sue!  'I'm just away to get some samples from the Blackwater - It could take a while . . .' 

Yes, I certainly get plenty of results when I search for Blackwater.  There was a directory listing came up for Blackwater Glass in Queensland, Australia, but no further info.  Maybe some of our friends down under might be able to help.

I also got a result from the former Waterford glass in Ireland (sorry, I've forgotten what they're called), but only in that a piece of glass was called Blackwater something.  No real info there either.

Ditto the furniture Sue!

I wasn't the sample collector - I don't drive!
I was the one waiting, lab all set up, for the samples to come in for the madness of processing them all when they finally arrived.

I wonder if this helps?  http://local.yahoo.com/info-41695377-black-water-glass-blowing-gulf-shores

Hi Ross.  Thanks for looking!

It's a long shot but what the heck!  I'm going to email a picture of the label to them and ask if it's theirs.

A few minutes later: email came back as domain name not known, so the directory listing is probably out of date.

Nancy, you could try these folks, might be the same ones?
