Glass / Re: identification of cloud glass bowl
« Last post by Mosquito on June 24, 2025, 11:02:56 AM »
‘Herman’ pattern by Walther. A nice find, this pattern is somewhat scarce in my experience.

The pattern is shown here on Chris and Val Stewart’s excellent cloud glass site: http://cloudglass.com/walbowl.htm

Glass / identification of cloud glass bowl
« Last post by Jypy on June 24, 2025, 10:56:05 AM »
Hi,
I have bought a cloud glass bowl in a thrift store. I don't know anything about 'glass', except that I design and make stained glass windows. I was an impulse purchase because I liked the colors, the wavy edges and the beautiful star in the bottom.
An identical item is advertised on the Internet as made by George Davidson, but more likely, it was made by Walther and Sohne?
I need some help with the following question: 1/ Which company made the bowl? 2/ In what year was the bowl made? 3/ What was the name/number of the pattern? 4/ What was the bowl intended for?
The dimensions of the bowl are: width 34cm / depth 23cm / height 5cm
I hope someone on this forum has an identical item and/or has answers to my questions....
Tnx!

I believe the bulge forms when the stem and foot are pushed together. It doesn't look machine made but...

Thanks John, I now have one like yours as well as the original post. Made by Sowerby in their 1885 catalogue.
Although I’m still unclear of its purpose.

Glass / 20th century Georgian style baluster dram/snaps/port glass
« Last post by markhig62 on June 23, 2025, 05:50:51 PM »
Hi
I wonder if anyone can help me with some information about this glass? I bought it cheaply, based on some not awfully clear photos, on the off chance that this might be something older. On closer inspection, it is clearly quite modern - a foot that looks folded, with a couple of feint tooling marks? But a smooth bulge where a pontil mark should be (or where it would be ground away) - some sort of mechanised manufacture - very clear metal with only a few tiny air bubbles, a bowl rim which is angular - not fire polished. Bowl is without tool marks. Height 13.7cm. Bowl 6.9cm foot 9.1cm weight 310g
Any ideas on where, when, how and by whom this was made would be gratefully received.
Thanks for looking
Mark

Bohemia, Czechoslovakia, Czech Republic, Austria / Reich 4857 Opaline Vases

These are a pair of Samuel Reich 4857 200mm. vases shown in the 1930 and 1934 catalogues. As is often the case the true colour does not show in the photos, it's more of a jade green.

Nigel's book is a great source but I wish the pictures were bigger, I'll have to ask him to do a bigger book !  :)

  The flower ornament between the leaf  & scrolls a bit different than my cup, otherwise virtually the same. Very nice.
  Another Meissen piece in an American glass motif "peacock eye".
