Topic: Surface decorated crackle type glass not Monart poss Loetz Kralik

Thanks for the link Kev.

I'm bemused.

Are these definitely Alexander Jenkinson?  How do they have firepolished rims and mold blown base finishes with no pontil mark?  Were they stuck up at some point somehow on a gadget holder thing so the rims could be firepolished?

Also I thought  Alexander Jenkinson had pontil marks from what I recall of previous discussions. 
hmm, I need to look into this more  as I'm curious now.

I always take an auction house attribution with a pinch of salt - I've seen countless number of "Monart" pieces listed which are definitely not Monart, so I'm sure there must be lots of other items wrongly attributed! Occasionally of course, it can work in your favour !

Here's a link to some Alexander Jenkinson glass:

The colour palette on the plate in your link is the same Flying free.
I did a bit of research last night but didn’t find anything I had not already seen.

On the subject of who else makes this sort of thing, there are these from Margie’s Garden. Might not be relevant to the op’s but possibly of interest for future reference: https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/208617-caveat-emptor-mystery-cracquelle-vases

Still of the opinion that it is Strathearn.

I have a set of vase/ creamer/ jar in this finish which eluded identification for many years until I discovered similar in the glass museum in Madrid. Not able to post pix due to eyesight.

Ivo the collection from Museo Nacional de Artes Decorativas is online.
Do you know what the description was and I can try and search for you?

I have a photo somewhere but just had an eye op so cannot search. Also it is not in the AD but in the San Ildefonso - a vastly superior museum for tech collectors like us.

The whole San Ildefonso collection is online at the link to the Museo de Artes Decorativas
I've just been through it again and realised I'd already been through it and noted the relevant pieces for my salt and little milchglas bottle re dating.

So it's on the link I have.  The museums have made great strides in making searching easier and photographing their collections and uploading them online.  Makes me very happy
