Glass / Re: Japonais blue enamelled pitcher
« Last post by chilternhills on Today at 02:21:33 PM »
I have spoken with the vendor of the Baccarat boudoir set. He has been dealing in Baccarat glass for more than ten years. He confirmed that the original Baccarat labels were on the boudoir set and the pitcher that I have is identical to his piece.

We discussed the different decoration on the two pitchers. Apparently the same blank was frequently decorated in different ways by Baccarat. His was engraved; mine is enameled.

Further research of my own suggests the enameling may have been done by Eugene Rousseau (1827-1913) for Baccarat around 1900. However, as we all know, Legras did some beautiful enameling; we have a fine example in the museum collection.

I hope I am going in the right direction with this.

Glass / Amalgamated Glass Bottle Works Ltd - History?
« Last post by TonyG1 on Today at 11:44:40 AM »
Apologies if this isn't the correct place to post this.  As part of an ancestry research project I am trying to get information on the Amalgamated Glass Bottle Works Ltd. (Company No: 164684).  It was incorporated in 1919 and dissolved in about 1932.  The Works was situated in Treby Street, off Maplin Street in the Mile End district of London's East End.  If anyone has more information on the company (especially pictures) please let me know.

Glass / Japonais blue enamelled pitcher
« Last post by chilternhills on Yesterday at 07:13:41 PM »
I picked up this attractive blue pitcher enamelled with japonais style decoration. Someone must have treasured it in the past because the damaged top has been stapled. It must be an old repair and, I guess, hard to do. The glass is quite heavy and substantial enough (obviously) to accommodate the staples.

My first thoughts were this could be Bohemian, perhaps Moser, and late 19th century, but it surprised me that a similar pitcher (the same shape, size, scrolled feet, and colour), but with different decoration, was included in a Baccarat boudoir set I found online. Here is the link:

https://www.vinterior.co/home-decor/kitchenware/glassware/baccarat-boudoir-set-engraved-turquoise-grapevine-1920s-sku52293702

The vendor says that the pieces have the original Baccarat labels attached, but don't actually provide a picture of the labels.

Would anyone care to comment on the identity of this pitcher? Many thanks in advance.

Glass Paperweights / Re: Paperweight /shot glass
« Last post by bat20 on Yesterday at 04:44:32 PM »
Thanks Alan ,if 20th century it is I would guess at early?I’ve got some Arculus shot glasses and they are a brighter glass with little in the way of tooling marks , much thinner and less in the way of air bubbles etc …or as much wear ,the glass has a greyer tone .I’ve gone a bit cane blind on this one !,and just can’t find a match for the central blue canes !?,i don’t think whitefriars for the reasons listed ,so perhaps Walsh Walsh ,the canes seems very skilfully placed .

Hi
It is definitely English, and 20th century.  Arculus and Walsh Walsh made similar pieces in the 1920s - 1930s, and Whitefriars made some post WW2. The key is to decide whose canes they are - my suspicion is Walsh Walsh.

In the spirit of learning, how do you know it's not murano? What are key features missing/present in this piece that tell you this?
