Topic: Scavo glass vase with unusual figurative pontil design - ID = Gibraltar Crystal

[lyndhurst44]

Hi,
Here is an inside out glass vase with an unusual, not dissimilar to the typical Guernsey 3 lions mark.
The vase has a scavo type outer and a polished interior. It measures 9.75" tall and weighs 1.4 kg.

I wonder is someone on the site can identify the maker for me please.
Thanks,
Bryn

Gurnsey/Island Glass would be my guess.

It is actually Gibraltar Crystal.  That is a castle over a key.

Glad someone is on the ball!

I should have been, but wasn't.
I did fork out for a boxed bit of Gibralter glass, to get hold of the mark and have a bit to illustrate it. But I forgot all about it when I saw this.

I wasn't sure enough about it being the Gurernsey mark to say anything, so I stayed quiet. I did check that it wasn't Partylite! I'm afraid I just left you on your own with that, John. But I could easily have said the same, if I'd been first to comment.

Hi,
Sorry for the delay in replying folks. Had a bit of a health scare regarding a problem with my left eye. Fortunately it’s on the mend thanks to the optical department in Royal Glamorgan hospital.
Many Thanks for the information. Gibrater glass is certainly a new one on me and probably most members here as well. I’ll check out their website?.
Happy new year to you all.
