I’m think Richardson’s vases in this style were signed.

Looking through my Charles Hajdamach I noticed on page 101 (!!?)a very similar motif illustrated by Richardson glass,but I suppose it could have been copied .Any thoughts most welcome .

I don’t know who made your nice vases but I recently came across the victorian book, Handbook of Ornament by Franz Meyer. It shows the origins of some of the ornamentation that you often see on victorian glassware.

For example, your palm decoration within a heart shaped scroll looks to be a copy of Greek designs, see plate 104 no.6 and 7, page 194. Also see plate 106 no.5 - design from Orléans railroad station, Paris.

Another good example is page 173 plate 92 no.2 that looks to be the origins of the Richardson acid etched design shown on page 182 of Hajdamach.

Glass / French Uranium Opaline Vase
« Last post by NevB on Today at 02:16:53 PM »
I think this 10" vase is either by St. Louis or Baccarat, in green uranium and white "pâte de riz" glass. It has probably been cut down as the rim is ground and not the usual fire polished finish, although the sides of the top section are straight and not curved as I might expect. The bottom of the top section is also closed off where it meets the green and the base is quite wide at 5" for a vase of this height. There's not one like it in Christine Vincendeau's book.

applied decoration like this one would love to hear views on it please? It measures 4.5 " tall and is
vertically ribbed polished pontil scar.

The clear one came first, marked to the base, then the green one and today the blue, wonder why the coloured ones aren't marked .

Glass / Rectangular blue and clear bowl. Is it Murano please?
« Last post by createdbear on April 27, 2024, 06:01:50 PM »
Never seen a piece like this before. A rectangular bowl with faceted corners. The well is darkish blue and the rest is faintly tinged blue NOT clear. It is heavy, weighing nearly 1.7 kilos. Roughly5 inches long by 3 inches deep. The base is flat and polished. It is a bowl rather than an ashtray (no indents at either end for a cigarette. Can anyone ID it please? It shouts Murano but the colouring, especially the 'clear' part makes me wonder. Thank you as always for any help. The photo URL starts as ebay as I took it with some other pics of stuff to go on ebay. It is not a piece that is on ebay.

Glass / Etruscan Vases ?
« Last post by bat20 on April 26, 2024, 02:40:17 PM »
Hi,a bit of a miracle finding these two 12” high vases recently !,but there they were . They have large polished pontils and wear that could easily date them to around 1850, they are a good weight and ring nicely when flicked and one is a tad heavier than the other .I know it can be tricky to attribute them easily but with everything taken into account I think they are probably made in England, ..they have rounded rims I should add. Looking through my Charles Hajdamach I noticed on page 101 (!!?)a very similar motif illustrated by Richardson glass,but I suppose it could have been copied .Any thoughts most welcome .

I’ll do some close up piccies when I have chance, I thought these in this link are the closest comparison so far.

Glass / Re: Piano insulator Percival Yates & Vickers or Crown Crystal Glass Co Australia?
« Last post by flying free on April 25, 2024, 08:12:31 PM »
I need to try and find mine to see if it's lightweight.  I don't think it was but could be mistaking it with the uranium Percival Vickers one I had/have as no idea what I've done with that either.
