Glass / Re: Maybe a Mdina Tortoiseshell Pattern Textured Heavy Base Glass Vase????

Possibly shortly after Harris left?
Around the early-mid '70s, before Said took over, I reckon.

Glass travels very extensively and I'm afraid there is no database of signatures.

Glass / Re: Curious thrift find, Polish?

So it's probably German in origin at least. Would make sense as Im in the Netherlands. Most times, glass stays close to home. (Also why I can't find any Viking or Fenton uranium pieces here... but that's a different story.)

The signatures seem very clear, but to me they are unreadable. Is there a signature database somewhere?

British & Irish Glass / Re: Georgian Cut and Engraved Rummer
« Last post by Keith Mick on Today at 03:50:08 PM »
Hi,
Looks in good condition for the age, end of the 18th early 19th century. Is the pontil ground?
Lucky find, wish there was an outlet like that near me!

Glass / Art Glass Vase ID?
« Last post by Keith Mick on Today at 03:24:19 PM »
Hi,
Came across this vase in a charity shop and couldn't resist it! Not had much luck ID'ing the beauty. It has white enamel? trailing and gold flecks in the  body which is cased. It's quite heavy for its size and stands approx 20cm tall. The pontil is broken and the base is manually finished not ground. The shape is maybe not that unusual but I haven't come across anything with similar decoration. It seems nicely executed to my untrained eye and I think it's has a cool look.
Any help would be appreciated,
Keith Mick

Glass / Unusual trailed glass vase/jug
« Last post by Keith Mick on Today at 02:11:29 PM »
Hi,
Just wondering if anyone can help me with an ID on this unusual orange/amber art glass jug. It has a rough outer surface texture although the inside, trailing and looped handle are all smooth. Have searched online but not really come across anything similar. I can find no markings and it's not easy to judge wear because of the rough surface. The pontil mark is ground and it stands just over 20cm tall or 8 inches in old money. Looks like it might be a copy of an older style of vessel.
Any help would be appreciated
