No-one likes general adverts, and ours hadn't been updated for ages, so we're having a clear-out and a change round to make the new ones useful to you. These new adverts bring in a small amount to help pay for the board and keep it free for you to use, so please do use them whenever you can, Let our links help you find great books on glass or a new piece for your collection. Thank you for supporting the Board.

VESICA PISCIS
This piece by František Vizner for Škrdlovice may seem disconcerting to some.
It baffles me to see the similarity it has with the “Virtual Potato”
described in my little treatise on Beauty.
Both address the mystery of the primordial vesica piscis.

VESICA PISCIS
Esta pieza de František Vizner para Škrdlovice  a algunos puede parecer desconcertante.
Desconcertante para mí es ver la similitud que guarda con la “Patata virtual”
descrita en mi pequeńo tratado sobre la Belleza.
Ambas abordan el misterio de la vesica piscis primordial.

Jayne, thank you!  :-* That's fabulous, I've been hunting for this piece for ages, and what a super catalogue that is, I'll have a good look through it later this evening when I've finished my current task (sewing bunting - don't ask!)

I'd not noticed that catalogue before Jayne, there are some other mystery pieces in it, eg. No.18726 on P.1 is mystery No.54. I'll have a look through for the others. I've just seen your other posts on this.

Glass / Re: Frosted baluster bud vase

I forgot I’d posted this vase. Below is an image of the frosted surface at x175 magnification, looks like they used a relative coarse grade of grit for this one, the finish shows nicely.

British & Irish Glass / Dartington tankard for show.
« Last post by keith on Today at 07:33:06 PM »
Today's find, 4.5 inches tall with a polished pontil mark, the base is marked No. 372/ 500 Frank Thrower 1975, pretty sure that's what it says, commemorative for Dartington hall which opened in 1925 hence the 50th anniversary emblem.
