Glass Message Board

Hello together,

my name is Kai and i just started to collect glas. I focus on glas of daily use and while shopping in netherlands i stumpled upon this shot glas. I have very limited knowledge about glas in general but the fact that the decor is applied with a very thin glas thread and not etched or engraved, made me curious. 

It glows slightly green under 365NM UV Light. I have zero idea how old it could be. So far all my pieces are typicial Art Nouveau glasses around 19th century, but i have the feeling this one could be older?

It would be great, if someone could help me identify this glas.

Thank you for sharing that catalogue, it’s funny how there are so many Sowerby things that have fallen through the cracks - and fantastic to have confirmation that my elephant tray is part of the elephant suite M

Hi thanks for the replies. I have a couple of books, old copies of catalogues which feature amongst many other things oil lamps. Deflectors do appear apparently as part of the purchase, on a lamp stand perhaps and whilst some look to be glass others could well have been made of metal. These catalogues don't appear to sell the deflectors individually, I'm thinking mine could have been sold as such, a more general purpose design. Either way none of the ones featured have a similar shape to mine so the time period may differ slightly.
Cheers

I would love to know who made this opalescent vase? It was bought in the UK. The signature is really hard to read, but is likely to be something like Penter, Pinter, Porter, Proctor..then the date 94. One suggestion is that it could be Australian, but I have been unable to find anything like it.

All suggestions welcome!

Thanks

Hello John, very interesting, not seen one of those before, strange shape, wonder how many of those they made ? Just about to post my latest find.
