Glass / Possibly Scandinavian?
« Last post by madweasel on Yesterday at 05:59:03 PM »
Any help with this small flask, 190mm in height, please? Double gathered. No marks on base, which is flat. The exterior seems to be slightly 'sand-blasted', giving a dull effect. Thank you. John

I wouldn't rely on the National Trust for glass IDs; they only seem to know about really old glass and then only if it's in an inventory somewhere. I've seen some quite scarce identifiable stuff hidden in cupboards barely in sight

A perfect match for the ebay item, they do look deep for a salt. Would the higher walls make it hard to get a pinch of salt from them?

France / Re: Etling catalogue - is it out there?

The 1951 catalogue was produced by Choisy-le-Roi glassworks and probably contained some Etling designs not listed in the 1930 catalogue

Thanks for the clarification. I'd love to see that catalogue too -- Choisy-le-Roi seem to have produced glass for numerous designers so it could be a great resource. I recall once seeing a scan of a page from an earlier Choisy-le-Roi catalogue on an ebay listing several years ago -- I recognised a lighting bowl that I've seen marked 'Arrers' on that page. Sadly I was not able to get more information from the seller. Hopefully another copy of the 1951 catalogue will turn up -- there must be more out there waiting to be discovered.

The troubles with annealing cracks are well-known, they're the result of the lack of temperature control in the draughty wooden shed they were made in.
But even complete jig-saws can still have some resale value.

I feel the only way to look at it is to appreciate how lovely they are, despite the damage. Otherwise it wouldn't be there to still admire and enjoy. And I didn't have to pay a premium price for the priviledge.  ;)


Agree!  Mine is always on display (surrounded by non damaged pieces of 1930s glass) as it's the most beautiful colour and decor.

Hmmm. So why did Montacute House think it was a Regency salt? The National Trust can usually rely on good advice. Maybe I should go directly to them and ask.

Glass / Horse ornament, signed - ID help needed
« Last post by chilternhills on March 26, 2025, 02:17:19 PM »
Can anyone identify this horse ornament? It's nice quality, quite heavy. It measures 7.5 cm (3 inches) nose to tail. The eyes are tiny blobs of blue glass. It's signed: perhaps gm or gmp or grp or gnp.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.

Anton

Malta Glass / Re: Mdina Lollipop vases
« Last post by glassobsessed on March 24, 2025, 10:02:30 AM »
Sorry, rather late but yes you are spot on!

A fabulous bit of luck yesterday, for me anyway when a customer walked in and wanted to swap this lollipop vase for a large Kosta Boda Satellite vase. Happy days, this lollipop is a nice variation on the usual theme in amethyst and yellow ochre. It is quite large for a lollipop at over 22cm, very thick and heavy, asymmetric and unsigned.

A couple more examples in these colours:
