(Themed) glass displays - show me yours, I'll show you mine... part 4
BlueOctopus:
Hello you all
as i mentioned I´m a little crazy because A collect every glass which affects me somehow.
I start with my collection of vases which are inspired from volumetric flasks out of the lab. the second picture, I put some of these bottles beside. These lab bottles are old as well, one is with the normal temperature of 15 °C which was changed to 20°C in the beginning of the 20C , so this bottle has to be 100 years old.
the big violett one and the violett with the long neck I don´t know from where they are. The bigger green one is Pukeberg Sweden, the small green one is ingrid glass. the amber onbe is veeeeeerrrryyy thin, lih´ght as a butterfly with wave rim and poked into the bulb. the red one I agin have no clou where it is from.
the next 2 pictures are my window ceiling in the bath room. Starting on the left side with old cod bottles 1 >German one American and 2 from Dublin. they laying bottle is I think very old as well, but i don´t know anything about it., the a couple of green , old medicin bottles follow and than a lot of old labority equipment follows. in the end brown glas from a lot different uses and apothecary glasses.
I hope you like them, and see the next post, there I go on with the bath ceiling
BlueOctopus:
here comes the rest of my window ceiling in the bath room.
left we start with Holmegaard michael Bang the carneby serie, follwoed from a Otto Brauer Gulvase inspired vase, I doubt that mine is a Gulvase. the 2 Tango vases, the bigger one might be Lötz, but is damaged, the small one has the black stribes only "painted". then a long collection of Klukflasks follows, mostly Holmegaard and Kastrup.
rosieposie:
Interesting collection you have there.... I'm sure some of the members here will be able to help you attribute makers to the pieces you are not sure of. :)
chopin-liszt:
;D I've been waiting for these. You even have some REAL volumetrics - my hands can just feel what it's like holding the neck and gently swirling the bottom around to dissolve something - they have such a pleasing feel, balance and weight. ;D ;D ;D
Your glass is all shiney. You've been cleaning it, I can tell. ;)
I've cleaned mine up a bit too, but haven't any pics yet. I discovered my really massive red one is actually a lamp base! It's got a hole drilled in the bottom. I found out when I lifted it (ever so carefully and gently!) out of the sink and soaked myself.
All these bottles and lab style stuff looks fabulous against your white lab-like bathroom. It's the perfect backdrop.
Do you consider your kitchen and bathrooms to just be other laboratories too?
Ones where you can practise bucket chemistry!
BlueOctopus:
having a lamp foot in shape of these flasks must be gourgios.
I´m working in a lab, so collecting lab glass is enough of lab at home, during the day I have enough chemestry.
When I was child I practissed some chemisty in the cellar of my parents, they were not so happy, they wanted me to work in a bank, much to boring to me ;D.
yes you are right, these are cleaned , but not for the pics, I did it 2 weeks ago. I´m working on an excell sheet in the moment were I discribe every item, giving numbers and linking them to my photo database.
I`m nearly 60 and I´m afraid that once I could die and my brother looks at all the glass and brings it to a glass container. I started in the bathroom and by giving the numbers, I cleaned them.
I will go on to present my glass, may be we come to some discussions by this.
