Glass / Re: Unmarked uranium dish
« Last post by Zender on Today at 09:36:09 AM »
This could very well be! The shade of yellow in the glass and the general shape/feel/expression seems to be the same.

Unless someone comes with a totally different idea, I'd say it is indeed Vallerysthal Art Glass. Now to read up on that maker, I never heard of them before.



Here the image from the provided link, for comparison purposes. Seems to be an exact match.


A bit more searching showed up this French forum where a very similar item is searched for, but it's in clear glass:

I think it reads Vallerysthal the French company. Try searching Vallerysthal art glass.

Here is a first attempt at a picture of the signature. It's very, very faint and damaged.

Hello!

With your help, I was indeed able to identify this. :)

It looks like this is a piece from "Berting Glass" (based in my province; known for glass wheat stocks). I never knew they made vases, but I found one picture of a blue version of my vase here:

Thank you very much for your help!

Well the second word looks like it is Glass. so now all we need is to guess the first. 

First letter is perhaps a P or a B
Second letter seems to be a "u" or perhaps an "ea" combination
Next letter is a "t" it seems
Then an "i" probably
Finally ???? - maybe an "n" or and "s" or even both.  or at a pinch "ng"

Guess #1 - Putin
Guess #2 - Butin
Guess #3 - Peatin
Guess #4 - Beatin
You get the idea try googling all of your guesses you may get lucky.  Good Luck , Ross

I agree extremely unlikley to be Murano - they rarely use colour in that way. 

My thought is that it may be Czech in origin.

Seeing it has markings lets see if you can gey a useful photo.  It often is not helpful to photo the marks square on as the unternal shapes tens to distort things.  Ditto flash is rarely helpful.  One way is to take it outside and with the sun behind you take a very shallow photo of the base.  The base should be light as it reflects the sky, the writing will be dark as the light does not reflect.  The benefit is that distortion can't happen nor do unwanted reflections in most caes.  Here is an example where I used this strategy and got nice sharp details.  You may need to try several times to get a focussed picture.  Another common trap is to try and get too close and that gets out of focus.  A well focused photo can be blown up many times and still be useful.

Good luck, Ross

Hello!

I recently acquired this jack in the pulpit vase (thrift store purchase). The bottom is polished and there is a clear signature on it; however, I cannot clearly make it out. Any help on this would be appreciated.

This one is in the Musee d'Orsay - the link says it's Baccarat
https://www.marcmaison.com/architectural-antiques-resources/baccarat

go to right hand side where the pictures are and if you click on the jug it enlarges.
Different shape and clear glass but similar feet and enamelled.
