Glass / Small Green angular or hooped glass vase???
« Last post by LEGSY on Today at 12:07:12 PM »
Lovely weighty little vase seems to have a Scandinavian color green in my mind
i think Holmegaard used a similar shade. The vase only measures 10 x 8.5 cm
yet has a good weight love to know if anybody recognizes the style or shape at all
thanks.

There's a similar pair shown here, on this reliable website, in the Kralik section in the Floriform pattern,

There are several in this Sowerby catalogue which appear to have the same heavily moulded base but no sizes given.

Glass / Origin of Lily Vase?
« Last post by SNJ on Yesterday at 09:16:17 PM »
Question... is this lily vase more likely to be Bohemian / Czech or English? I suspect the former but I'd be interested if anyone demurs.

One of a pair, roughly 8" tall, slight uranium glow to the feet.

Thanks!

Thank you both for taking a look and commenting, this is fairly large by comparison and holds over half a pint, nearly 300ml or 10 fl oz.

In the little book Glass Tumblers 1700-1900 by John Brooks, there is a pretty much identical looking tumbler on page 25. That one is dated to 1856 by an engraved inscription. He describes it as a deceptive tumbler, 8.4cm tall.

Glass / Re: Jacobean glasses on glass stand ?

There is a Jacobean 'Five Piece Revolving Dinner Cruet' No. 7760 on page 11 of the 1950's Clayton Mayers Catalogue. Not the same as this stand I think, but worth noting in this thread.

I would say it's just an ale/beer glass/tumbler not a deceptive. Apparently pubs could sell a "glass" of beer as long as it was under half a pint, the link below is interesting: I would think Victorian but it might be earlier, Sowerby made a large range of tumblers.

Glass / Deceptive tumbler or something else?
« Last post by glassobsessed on Yesterday at 08:12:06 AM »
A thick walled and heavy tumbler this one but would it be described as deceptive? Like a Tavern rummer I have it might simply be built to survive the odd knock. Anyway, it is 11.5cm tall and weighs in at 612g so not dainty, with a polished pontil mark and oodles of wear on the base.

I assume Victorian in date (plenty of leeway!) but can we say anything else about it?
