Blimey as you say well worth getting out of bed for. I particularly like the Orrefors bit and the Brierley vase, but a great mornings booting.
I actually dragged myself out and did a boot this morning and although very few folks around with the weather not being too good still had some good sales and took more than the last 2 antique fairs which speaks volumes about what people want at present.

In view of the discussion in another thread "Origins of the studio glass movement" http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,6207.0.html

it may interest you to know that this Royal Brierley Studio vase, which from memory was originally made in the mid 1980's has a connection with Mike Harris!

When David Williams Thomas of Royal Brierley decided to develop the Royal Brierley Studio range, which was quite a radical departure from their main area of expertise, he asked Mike Harris to act as a consultant.

I'm really geolous as I've had a really bad day at the Car boot.  :roll:

I bought a retro Italian all in one glass lamp and and either a Jobling vase or a Czeck vase as well.

I put a chip in the lamp by clanging it against the vase.  :twisted:

Later, I found the vase to be clouded badly.

Probably well worth staying in bed without.  :lol:

Car boot finds like this are going to get a lot harder soon. See the UK "Observer" newspaper today "Business and Media" section page 16 ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENTS- article entitled "Glass comes out of the charity shop and into the money"  :wink:
