Okay, it's not strictly glass but definitely glass - related...I am
trying, but having no luck in locating spare brass (or any other type of metal) fittings for a Victorian glass epergne. They are the very useful little parts that hold the glass trumpets in place. I have a peloton glass epergne bowl that needs a trumpet (not so hard to find - there seems to be plenty of spare glass epergne trumpets out there) - and even more importantly, a brass fitting to hold that trumpet.
I
know that there are some modern repro epergnes being made, so obviously the brass fittings are also still in production. I have even tried contacting a glassmaker who makes these repro Victorian style glass epergnes asking where he gets the brass fittings from but have not had a reply.
Yes, I am searching on eBay. And pretty much everywhere else, but without success. I know there are folks who collect epergnes, maybe even determined types who fix up ones with lost parts...(I must admit I can't resist buying odd bits of orphan glass like fairy lamp & epergne spare parts, trying to remake the original rather than spending huge sums on perfect items.
)
So, if there's any epergne enthusiasts out there, can you please get in touch if you know where to obtain those elusive brass fittings? I would love to do some epergne DIY & get mine restored to it's former glory!
