Hi you're are very welcome to post whatever you like (in glass) but you are much starting a new thread for each, particularly when they are so different. I can help you with one of them - your pineapple vase is an English Carnival (note the iridescence) by Canning Town Glass. See here for a thread http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,9115.0.html (http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,9115.0.html)
Snap!

Hello,
Your large bowl appears to be Davidson's 535 pattern, apparently late 1960s. See Chris & Val Stewarts site here: http://cloudglass.com/other.htm

Sorry Paul's picture has gone. Here is another good carnival glass site http://www.ddoty.com/ (http://www.ddoty.com/) You will find the Smoke version of your vase pictured here if you look around or do a search
Here is the start of the Davidson part of the cloud glass website http://cloudglass.com/History.htm (http://cloudglass.com/History.htm)
I know nothing about decanters. Is your pedestal bowl cut glass or pressed glass? It looks like it might be cut. Pamela's website is excellent for pressed glass http://www.pressglas-pavillon.de/index2.html (http://www.pressglas-pavillon.de/index2.html)

Hi Christine
have been looking though some books and on the internet but cant seem to find out about decanter any ideas please, the bowl seems cut glass, could be lead crystal?

Hi Gilead,
You'll find that http://www.carnival-glass.net/ is one of the most outstanding resources on Carnival Glass.
It is full of fascinating research and we are fortunate to have Glen Thistlewood as a long standing member of this board, who is often able to
help identify people's Carnival and other glass from her encyclopedic knowledge :)
If you click on the link "books and publications" you will find a number of Glen's excellent books.

Thank you Glen & aa for the site you have pointed out am getting to learn more slowly, also may i thank Christine for pointing me in the direction of finding out about the Thistle Vase, in marigold from the Caning Town glass works Ltd, so thats one named thanks to your help, appreciated, think im going to really enjoy this glass collecting,
Gilead,

Gilead, your tall decanter with the long stopper pic S6004381.JPG, no idea who made them, but I bought one brand new the exact same for my mother around 1981/2 in a gift shop in Edmonton, north London, so that gives you an age, pretty much. (She still has hers and uses it regularly so it's a very familiar one to me.)

Anne
thank you very much for the info now i have a starting point, from which i can carry onwards and find out more, was just this moment going though the net looking after putting decanters in google,

Adam, thank you for your kind words. They are greatly appreciated.
Gilead - the Thistle vase has indeed cropped up here before. The information re. the maker first came from the late Bob Clements (a Carnival collector) who used to work at Canning Town Glass Company. The marigold vases are not too hard to find. There are also just two smoke Carnival Thistle vases known. They were found at a fleamarket in Essex some twenty years ago and were both in our collection (i.e. the collection belonging to my husband and me) for a number of years. We still have one of them - the other was a personal gift to a very close friend of ours.
There is another vase known as Royal Pineapple that is similar to the Thistle in many ways, although a little taller. It is mainly found in marigold, although a smoke example is also known. Photos of all these and further information is all in "A Century of Carnival Glass".

The thistle vase is also found in clear, I had one
-
The thistle vase is also found in clear, I had one
Do you mean iridised clear? Or "flint glass" clear?
-
Another bit of information that I forgot to mention. The mould for the Thistle vase is at Broadfield House (or possibly Himley Hall, if they've moved it) - West Midlands.
Glen
-
Flint glass clear, although not a particularly good colour. I wonder what else Canning Town made
-
Glen
thats nice to now as im not far from Himley Hall so if the mould is there my thistle vase is not far from it,s parent so to speak, makes a bit of talking point for me to bore my son some more so he says, he just cant see the beauty and style in Glass collecting, and the pleasure you can get from looking at the curves and colour or appearance of the glass, each to there own as the saying go's thanks for the info,
Gilead
