Topic: Isle of Wight Glass Identification

[PaulFitz]

I have just started collecting Isle of Wight glass and i just want to be 100% sure on these two pieces.

I think the smaller one is called "Ribbons" and the larger is called "Satin"

So if anyone out there can confirm this it would be greatly appreciated .

Hello and welcome, I'm no expert but they look right to me, I think these are what were used as the basis for the Royal Brierley studio range,

Yes, you are spot on. The globe PB is Satin and the conical PB is Black Ribbons. See these pages:

Hope this helps.

A big thank you to Keith and Chilternhills for your quick response and links . You have been a great help.
I now know where to find help on any other pieces i get stuck on in the future.

Those are great links from knowledgable folk, but you're welcome to ask and discuss anything about glass here too.

Finding a piece of Satin is a great way to start collecting IOW glass. It is scarce and hard to find. And in New Zealand too!

Yes,really pleased with the Satin perfume bottle.Not sure if i paid too much at $125NZD (63 pounds) but i had to have it.The ribbons bottle came with a Azurene and a peacock vase for a total of $69NZD and that seemed a good price.Now i have the bug for collecting IOW,who knows where it will end.I mainly collect NZ Studio glass from Raos,Nash & Hoglund(son of Erik of Kosta Boda) so i am really pleased to be buying these new pieces to my collection.Cheers.
