Topic: What's your Favourite 3 pieces ?

[Ohio]

I've limited my three to European rather than U.S. #1 is signed August Jean, #2 has the Harrach blade marking & #3 is an I'am not certain...bottom of metal is signed Riceszinn & it barely beat out a Palais-Royale Camel Perfume set from the 1860s.

I've had to base it on what pieces would I rescue, if I could only carry three 
These are they, because I think I would never be able to replace them
1) I call it my Anarchist punk rock pate-de-verre head sculpture - have never looked at another sculpture since I bought this and I still absolutely love it and look at it every day.
2) Big crackle trailed 19th century vase believed French - damaged but again I've never stopped loving this vase
3) Cameo vine and grapes vase - damaged, the most beautiful blue that literally glows

Ken could that be Kayserzinn ? they did a lot of pewter on glass . sorry if I am teaching Gran to suck eggs as we say .

Dirk, I'd have your Weidman like a shot too!
The Sam Herman has both silver chloride and tin decoration - I see your Weidman has tin on the surface too.

Simba, this was a wonderful idea. 
It's more concentrated and specific than the "displays" thread - so it's completely different.
I hope it will turn into another lovely long sticky of glorious and educational eye candy!

Cheers Sue... I am loving it looking at all these glorious and diverse 'favourites'and I am learning loads about other types of glass too

We've had a long debate about a selection of favourite Australian studio pieces. After the dust settled, we marvelled that none of them is blown to shape: in fact, one is entirely kiln formed, another is assembled from parts that are either fused and slumped in the kiln or pate-de-verre, while the third is hot-worked like pieces of toffee and then assembled on a base that is cast. The 9-legged 'vase' is by Peter Crisp in 1992 and about 31cm high by 29cm diameter. The large panel by Warren Langley is about 84cm high by 60 cm wide (and made of material up to 3cm thick - so it is heavy!), while the sculpture of mother and child by Chuck Simpson from 1993 is 36cm high by 18cm wide by 13 cm deep.

Johnphillip: nope its Riceszinn & all I've ever found on them is they were an Austrian firm & you can find Loetz, Kralik & Rindskopf pieces with their mountings on them.
