Chip spatter (with uranium) on white ground
« on: October 26, 2014, 04:22:24 PM »
My gut wants to say Ysart, my brain doesn't know. Can you help please

Mutli-coloured chips on a white ground. The pale green ones are uranium glass  ;D ;D. 3 in diameter; 2 in tall. The pontil mark is a rough button. Can't tell whether it was ground off or fire polished but either way it sticks out and the weight doesn't stand flat. It has a couple of small bruises and some scratching (where could I get it sorted in the UK please?) but it was cheap enough.

Hi.  Could we have a visible light image - without that, my gut is saying Belgian! As for getting it sorted, the man to go to is Richard Lamming http://ruskinglasscentre.co.uk/tennants/redhouse-glass-crafts/. Excellent work at a fair price.

Is the "outie" pontil mark stuck in an "innie" pontil mark of something else, to make it sit (nearly) straight?
Clever. And practical.
It's looking slightly less Ysart-y in normal light... the splodges aren't really deep enough, the insidey bit is too nicely domed...

clueless here! :-[

No, it's just raised on a handy hyacinth vase because that's the only way I could get a proper profile without reflection; it's taken from slightly below.

hmmm. "taken from slightly below" might acount for the "perfect" dome outline of the insidey bit.
(thanks for the elucidation, your editorialshipness :-*)

The insidey bit is domed, which is why taking a pic is a pig

Hi. I see why one might think 'Ysart' from the base, but I suspect it is from Belgium or the Alsace area.

Thank you. What sort of age are we talking please and is it worth getting repaired?
