Topic: Is this a Monart Vase Shape JB far as i have got??? c 1920's??

[chopin-liszt]

My brother is a Monart collector Dan, so although I don't pay any attention to codes, numbers or letters, I've followed what he's been doing for the last 20 odd years.
I do pay attention to glass.

Any ideas on the value of the piece Sue??
I have never been up on it to be honest
I spotted another in a shop today also a very
big vase with the same cracking they wanted
£15 for it but it was like 10" big urn shape i may
get it next week if i have the spare change when
i get there again
Do you have many pieces of Monart?

I think I have two bits. A beautiful little bubbly dish; I cannot work out how they managed to polish the base with the bubbles in, it is so thin and delicate, and a combed green piece which was affordable because of a huge annealling crack.

I haven't a clue about values, but something really big, with a crack, for £15 sounds like a "come and get me" price if you like it.
I paid £20 for my combed piece.

Bubbly pieces are a good bit scarcer than not bubbly. Your goblet is a wonderful bubbly one.
I'd probably offer you a bit of profit on what you paid for that!

stunning piece of bubbled Monart even with the fracture , open / burst bubbles are more a problem with these bubble pieces

Thank you so much for the replies
It's fascinated me since i got it the other
day i keep glancing at the bubbles even the kids
have mentioned that they prefer it too all the
other's that i have on my sideboard  yet my
Mum has said she want's rid of it off their as she likes
Czech pieces with colors and swirls etc so it may even
go in a box for a while until i get a new house not the
best of out comes for something that needs displaying
so may look at re homing it..I know it seems to be a rare
bit so Would Ebay be best?? Questions Questions Questions
Would like it to go to a good home eventually so to speak
as it maybe worth more to a collector than it is for me

despite my earlier comments regarding the possible lack of hard cash value due to the annealing crack etc., the desirability of any collectible mustn't be assessed only in terms of LSD (that does sound so ancient now doesn't it - hope everyone knows what it means - and no, it's not the mushrooms ).               Most older hand made 'things' have other definable values such as beauty, craftmanship etc., and despite the lack of physical perfection with this piece, I think a lot of folk here would keep this example of Monart due to it's rarity, shape, colour and its known origin - I know I would  -  when are you ever going to find another.
This one isn't going to pay for your pension anyway, and may realize the sort of value that might buy you a couple of meals out at the local restaurant - after which you will have lost the glass.
Keep it to remind you of a time when craft pieces such as this were made in difficult circumstances - and the like of which won't come around again.

On the other hand I'll give you a fiver for it

I would definitely fork over some bucks (I'm in Canada) for it.

I was only joking of course, Dan, but this latest offer sounds like it would go to a very good home, and be loved, crack and all.
