Glass Trinket Sets / Mystery Set 129 ?
« Last post by theElench on Today at 08:20:40 AM »
A comb tray in green glass but doesn't re-act to UV light.

It measures:
Length.   25cms.
Max. width.   7.5cms.
Max. height.   3.5cms.

Sorry if the photos are a bit small.  The notes I wrote about re-sizing say "400 to 700 pixels on the longest side" but I wasn't sure if there if there is a maximum, so tried 750.

It reminds me a bit of the fairly recent ('90s-ish) Polish Jozefina oil burners.  ???

Glass / Chunky blue sommerso solifleur vase - maker?
« Last post by chilternhills on Yesterday at 01:57:56 PM »
Can anyone help me identify this vase, please? It's elliptical in cross section, and measures 15 cm wide, 13 cm high, and about 7 cm thick. It's unusual that the base is ground flat and open. The top has a large bubble with a small orifice. In other words, there is a cavity in the base and another opening at the top.

I can't find anything quite like this online. It's similar to Kosta Boda in some respects, but I don't know. There are no identifying marks on the piece.

Any suggestions as to identity is appreciated.

Anton

Hi Christine,
regarding the signature i did think this might be a possibility after having no luck at all on the net.
Not knowing anything about Bohemian glass,could this be older than the date on it.
Cheers,Paul.

The weight looks Bohemian to my eye. The name is likely that of the person it was gifted to

Glass Paperweights / Sinclair Johnson 1890 paperweight
« Last post by PaulFitz on Yesterday at 06:28:09 AM »
Hi,does anyone have any information on this 8.5cm diameter paperweight.
The design has been engraved on the bottom with the name & date on the top.
The six facets are concaved rather than ground flat.
I am struggling to find anything on the name at all.
Thanks,Paul

A very knowledgable friend is a bit doubtful about my attribution.
Which I take seriously.
I have found a thread with conversation, illustrations and useful links here, which might explain a bit more.

It still looks as if it belongs with an Eisch somewhere to me.
The multiple subtly clashing colours, the swag decor and the application of clear glass features all fit.
