« Last post by Greg. on Today at 01:46:22 PM »Hi Vickie,
The C"G mark is a Caithness Glass mark, indicating that the weight is a second.
Hope this helps

Glass / Re: Cut lead crystal flower or hyacinth bulb vase for ID please
« Last post by Ekimp on Today at 12:10:19 PM »In my Phelps Warren, plate 85A shows a vase very similar to yours in shape although the top part is more cylindrical. It is 7 inches tall and he calls it a hyacinth vase. It does look like a decanter body and neck but there is no mention of it being a decanter, just a hyacinth vase. Lucky the top survived, should think these are genuinely rare.

Glass / Ruby Glass Vase
« Last post by niktam on Today at 10:45:43 AM »Any thoughts on this 18 cm Ruby Vase - tried image search which brought up Hocking, but this isn't signed?
Thought I was told 30's when buying, but that was many years ago.

Glass / Re: Purple Bagley Tulip Lamp
« Last post by Lustrousstone on Today at 08:45:19 AM »There was no amethyst lamp in the Bagley book; one was a cucumber 2 dish (made 1930-1975) and the other a fantail vase (made 1959-1974)

British & Irish Glass / Re: Bonnet glass I believe ?
« Last post by Keith Mick on Today at 08:31:18 AM »Nice glass. These do seem to be dated around 1800. How thick is the bowl on this glass? I have a similar glass posted on here "Georgian glass " https://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,73378.0.html if your interested. I've heard somewhere that a Monteith glass is very similar but the bowl rim has a cut pattern with alternating points and rounds.
Cheers,
Keith

Glass / Re: Purple Bagley Tulip Lamp
« Last post by theElench on Today at 07:31:01 AM »Another cup of coffee and another couple of question comes to mind.
Was this lamp one of the two examples that you found ?
If not, what were the production periods for them ?

Glass / Re: Purple Bagley Tulip Lamp
« Last post by theElench on Today at 05:25:26 AM »Companies like Walther and Davidson were introducing new colours during the 30's, in connection with their "Ora" and "Oralit" ranges. Might Bagley have thought it was being left behind and trialed a few pieces of "Amethyst" during the same period ?
Or could it be that Bagley tried it out during the 50's when post war Austerity was easing with new colours and designs becoming more common again?
Another thought, having read that Sowerby bought some Davidson moulds when they closed, did someone buy the Bagley lamp moulds and produce some examples after Bagley shut down ? Purple was a popular colour for decor in the 70's.
