Title: have another id for you..
Post by: Cazza on June 16, 2007, 10:48:21 AM

The whitefriar molar is there for the colour, not sure what the other one is, the top has not been polished and is thick, although sure it is a quality vase.
stands 7/12" high. ???

I cannot see your pictures as they always try and open an application instead of opening in  browser  ??? and for safety I never accept such odd downloads. This happens even if I paste the URL into another window.

Hi there Frank
I do not understand what is wrong, I use jpegs and auctiva for my pictures. I am sorry you cannot see them. And I do not know what to do so that you can ???

Frank I am also getting a window asking which programme to use to open the file - but I always get this with auctiva, I don't think they attach the correct file type to the download.  It opens fine in Paint Shop when I select this.

Cazza - I can see your pictures no problem at all  :-\

Just a little tip for you - it helps if you're a little more descriptive in your title, for example Whitefriars Molar and 1 other? ID help pls as a title would probably help get the right people in to look at your items and probably elicit a quicker response.  I'm not sure on the vase on the right hand side, it does look a little like a WF shape but the slight taper towards the rim isn't right for the vase I'm thinking of - have you tried searching through the catalogues on the Whitefriars.com website?

Hi there Pip
Yes searched through whitefriars site. I wondered if it was Swedish. Sorry about my subjects will try harder. :) The base is polished but the top is not, its thicker than the WF ones as well.

I'd lean more towards Swedish as well for that one Cazza - Aseda possibly?

Cazza - I'm lazy and only read posts in which I might be interested and/or be able to help.  Could you please in your titles give some indication, however simple, of the article concerned, e.g "green vase", "pressed (if known) bowl", "orange thing with green stripes" etc.  Many thanks.

Lynne right, Auctiva's server is sending the file with the wrong Mime content type (from David's dialog box, "binary/octet-stream"). It should be sent with type "image/jpeg". Depending on which browser people are using and/or how it's set up, the browser may not know what it should do with the file and so will ask you what to do or just try to download it. Some setups will use the file extension to work what to do.

There are other users posting with Auctiva images and they are visible, URL's of the ones that work start www.auctiva... the ones that fail start img.auctiva...

I presume that Auctiva only hosts for short periods, some inquiries can take years to answer and hence we ask people to use glass gallery if possible for permanence.

Hi Frank not sure I understand about urls, but I do know auctiva do not delete your photo's you have to do that yourself, I have quite a lot on there.

I remember seeing something similar attributed to Zwiesel. 
If your vase has a flat-ground base, I'd definitely be inclined to look in that direction.

Cheers,
Chris

hi again Cazza - Zwiesel are a German glass makers - if you Google them I'm sure you'll find some info.  The only Zwiesel output I'm familiar with is the stuff with the silvery random bubbles inside so can't elaborate on what Chris has said.

Yesterday I saw a couple of blue clear-cased vases at a flea market in Bern.  One of them is fairly well known, 6" or so, cup-shaped on a clear base with 3 "peaks" on the rim (sorry, can't find an appropriate photo at the mo' since I'm away from home).  The other was very similar to yours.  Both had Zwiesel labels.  From the 70s, I'm guessing.
