Topic: Damaged Art Nouveau Open Salt Applied ''Claws'' & Blue Blobs ID Help

[Robin G]

Thanks for further info, Paul and m. I see I need to add more British books to my glass library. I hope to be in London for Christmas, so.... As far as inaccurate attribution, while looking at just the 1 page of the book of Manley's glass, where we see the piece with turquoise beads,  he has a salt that sure seems French, Pantin, Monot Stumpf. Since I am new, I'm still spending lots of time going through old posts and getting acquainted with "new" companies. Loving the peacock trail variations. Can't tell where my salts like that might be from. Later I will check if there are any antique faires going on during my proposed visit, or other good shopping venues you folks might recommend.

I think the "Wilkinson" beads are a red herring in this case. The salt's beads are applied blobs

[Paul S.]

agree, sounds fishy to me too Christine  -  I was simply drawing attention to something that appeared to have a very close aesthetic similarity - who knows, perhaps the salts gave Wilkinson the germ of an idea

P.S.    if you're going to be in town Robin, then you might try the Grays Antiques Centre (close to Oxford street I think)  - but pricey of course, although they will haggle at times.
Also there's the Kempton (Sunbury) twice monthly antiques market) - Roy, here, is a big fan I recall.           Starts at 6.30 a.m. I think and in the depths of December that can be a bit off-putting  -  but some real gems can be found provided you are early.           As for books  -  you can never have enough.
