Glass / Re: It's a mystery to me.

I wasn't brave enough to say that, because I couldn't see any wear around the bottom of the glaze.

It is very black and very shiney. And we all make mistakes. It's only bad when we don't find out or correct them, Tim. ;D

Bohemia, Czechoslovakia, Czech Republic, Austria / Stolzle Dish
« Last post by NevB on Yesterday at 09:48:20 AM »
This isn't in the catalogue but has a combination of the panel pattern on the 18872 pedestal bowl on P.17 and the ball pattern on the dishes on the last page.

My guess would be it's a lid, possibly for something like a storage/tobacco jar, numbered to identify it as is done with decanter stoppers.

 :-[ could be major howler from me . looking more closely at the base and sides, that could be a very thick black glaze on a pottery body!
Sorry about that folks.
I would still be interested as to it's purpose but maybe put on the right forum :)

Not sure what to make of this glass disc.
After a good look around the net i cant see anything close.
First thought was paperweight ?
Then linen smoother then maybe a muller for grinding solid paint.
The number on the base is a puzzle as well.
Any help gratefully appreciated.
It is 103mm in diameter and 51mm high.

Glass Trinket Sets / Davidson Clear Glass Tray Cut Top and Bottom
« Last post by Jayne on May 27, 2024, 04:28:07 PM »
An example of a Davidson clear glass tray "cut top and bottom" as stated in the 1956 Pattern Book.

I've had this tray for years and never found an attribution or other pieces of a set to go with it.

It does appear between two trinket sets in the pattern book though, Page 10.

I believe this is the Trinket Tray usually seen with Mystery Set #183 if someone would like to add it to the gallery.

British & Irish Glass / Re: David Moir vase for show

I didn't know he had left us. He gave a fabulous talk at the Perth Conference, his passion and self-effacing modesty were a revelation. He was in tears by the time he finished.
It's a really stunning piece too. 8) 8) 8)
