One further Annette Meech studio goblet to add to this thread, this one with a beautiful iridescence blown at the Glasshouse and dated 1974.

Fascinating to see the difference in competence between '72 and '74, and utterly beautiful Greg.
My hands are itching to hold and feel it. :)
Cheers, Sue M. (she/her)

Thought you would like this one Sue. Its a very tactile piece, love the inky blue colouring together with the iridescent finish.

Another piece to come out of the Glasshouse, this time an earlish example blown by Jane Gilchrist (latterly, Jane Bruce). Signed Jane Gilchrist and dated 1973.

 ;) You are turning me green Greg. That is beautiful. It looks really well made too, for such an early piece. No wonks there at all, it's all smooth and elegant.

Quite refined for the date, although quite weighty for it's size. Has an interesting mirror type iridescence to it, similar ish to the finish on some Labino pieces.

Created, I believe, by flaming the item after making, which brings metal ions to the surface.
Don't ask me if it's a reducing or oxidising flame, those are even more confusing than lefts and rights.
Is oxidising removing a hydrogen and reducing, adding one?  ::)

Not sure, you have me pondering now.

Might have the odd additional piece to add to this thread! Can't remember if you may have seen them before or not, but will add them to this rather fitting thread. Can't believe it's getting on towards ten years since this thread started, quite frightening where time goes! Will be the 60th anniversary, next year!

One for enthusiasts of early studio & Czechoslovakian glass.  An early studio vase blown by Jiri Suhajek at the RCA in 1970. The vase is in a very deep purple and has a marvered in glass prunt to one side which has been coated in silver leaf. The orange trailing runs around the vase and also under the marvered prunt. The last photo also shows an early goblet blown by Jiri at the RCA in the same year.

A few pictures of a lovely piece blown by Sam at the RCA in 1971.
