Glass Paperweights / Customised Perthshire oddity/curiousity?
« Last post by Glassheart on April 23, 2024, 04:45:12 PM »Dear all,
I stumbled across this curiosity at a bric & brac shop the other day. Being a Perthshire fan, I recognised the canes. However, if I’m not mistaken this is a customised weight which has been converted I think to a candleholder/ornament. Correct me if I’m wrong but I think this started life as a pp52 Inkwell and maybe due to damage, it’s had its neck and top sawn off and then smoothed over and made into a candleholder ornament. What’s interesting is that it has Xmas canes, you can see Santa, Xmas tree, a sleigh and an odd looking face which I think is a snowman, as it works well as a Xmas ornament!
I’ve never seen anything like it, but cannot find it online anywhere which is why I think it’s been modified at some stage. Would you all agree?

Glass / ID help please! Frosted blue pedestal bowl
« Last post by RSalmon on April 23, 2024, 02:16:00 PM »Hi all, would really appreciate some help identifying this piece! I'm primarily keen to get an approx. date or any information about the design style, but the more info the better.
It has three mould seams, some small imperfections (bubbles and rippling) and no makers mark. I asked the woman I purchased from if she had any information about the age and she just said it was 'long before her time' and had belonged to her grandmother - I would guess her age at 50s/60s. From this and looking at other pieces online it seems possible that it could be 1930s, but I'm not confident.
Measurements:
4.5" base width
11" rim width
6.25" height
~2" pedestal height

Glass / Re: need help identifying pair of glasses
« Last post by Lustrousstone on April 23, 2024, 09:15:48 AM »From the ground rim finish and the yellow enamel under the gilding, I would say Bohemian/Czech. No idea on date though but probably pre WW2
