Am putting shoes on and will (hopefully) be able to show it to you later!

Am back - gleefully clutching Decanter.  Here are some quick snaps - I will post some better pictures once I've washed it and removed the piece of Daily Telegraph from inside!

Mark on stopper (very hard to photograph - I think it might be Hd or HdL)

Alexander - I thought about the signature bit on the drive over to fetch it.  If the designer's initials usually go on a piece, but the piece is a copy of a 19th Century piece, I wouldn't be surprised if only the factory name appeared.

Thank you again for all the information!

Well done Cat!  It's very nice indeed!

filled up with some nice chilled Soave....

yum...

It's fabulous 

The signature could be just for HG as you suggested, or maybe it's the person who made the piece?
I know HG were conscious not to make something that could be confused with the older pieces.

It's a very nice piece of glass, I'm slightly envious now

Hi Cat

Nice Decanter, I feel that I have seen that decanter recently on my travels, maybe Lewes Church street ? , have to admit I did not even pick it if its the one

Hi Roy,

I'm still getting used to the idea that we don't all just exist in cyberspace and probably many of us mooch in the same areas looking for a treasure.  I'm beginning to think I should ask before I go anywhere as it would be pretty pointless heading out in the afternoon, only to find that someone else has stripped it bare in the morning!

You have a great memory.  The decanter was from Lewes - the old church place on the oneway road (I don't know Lewes well enough to know the road names yet!).

Did you go to Ardingly today?  Given the weather I'd think there were some bargains to be found.

Take care
Cat

Sorry I'm four years late to this discussion, but I picked up this gorgeous pair of candlesticks at a show last weekend for what seems like to me a ridiculously low price of $30 US.

Based on what I've read above, are these designed by Jonas Hidle? Any idea of the true value?

Thanks - Norwegian is not my usual poison, I collect Bohemian, but I liked these very much:

Your candlesticks are indeed by Jonas Hidle of Hadeland, designed in 1953 as part of their art glass range. Hidle made just a few pieces of art glass, and is best known for his glass lamps and chandeliers. Check out the huge crystal chandeliers of the Kennedy Centre in Washington and Winnepeg Concert Hall in Canada. That’s Hidles work. Your candlesticks are quite a find. Congratulations!

Thank you for the information - that's good news, indeed.

Maybe the exception to the rule (Hadeland - the poor relation) but can anyone tell me why?
