Topic: Signed 'Gordiola Mallorca' old enamelled hand trailed plate amber flowers leaves

[flying free]

Hello and thanks for coming back to the thread.  Your pic did not attach but I presume you have realised that

80mm is small but my plate is also saucer sized really.  Perhaps a little bigger,I've not got it here with me at the mo).
Gordiola still produce quite 'old fashioned' style glass so it's quite impossible to date their glass by style really.
I had thought my enamels looked old but I've seen what I think is recently enamelled glass (last 20/30 years maybe or perhaps even more recent than that) and it contains enamels that I thought were old until I realised when it was most likely painted.

So, it seems that dating it by type of enamels, design or style of glass is going to be a bit difficult really.

here is another style vase signed Gordiola Mallorca but again someone different has enamelled it and signed it.

And these are similar to your tumblers but signed but someone different

and this one has similar enamel colours and design to my plate and looks to be a similar period perhaps?

Well spotted. The second one is indeed three tumblers of identical shape and size to mine.

Sorry about the pics. forgot how small they need to be for this site. Will try these fresh out of photoshop....

Still producing indeed. By coincidence I was at the Gordiola shop in Palma today. Not my thing so I didn't spend much time there. If I'd have known, I would have asked for all the info.

oooh    did you get to look at the museum pieces? 

Just realised you said shop and perhaps not at the factory then?

The outlet in Palma is not interesting @ all,  the factory which is abt. 15 km outside the city has the museum which Is wonderful.

The shop was very tourist orientated and not at all interesting, especially for my tastes.
