Title: Help on Ruby Red Compote With Twisted Knob Stem
Post by: Nancy128 on January 11, 2009, 04:42:25 PM

Sorry for the not-so-great photos, there are two of these at an estate sale (where I took these pictures) was wondering y'all if these would be worth going back and getting.  They look like Steuben, but there are no signatures, only very tiny numbers that are different on each base of the compotes.  There is that wide ground circle base that I believe will be the clue to start searching, but need some help.  Thanks!

Oh, and by the way, how do you get the pictures to show up without y'all having to click on the link?  :-[

Nancy — Like this.   The URL was obtained by right clicking on the gallery image then clicking on Properties (which also tells you its dimensions and file size).

Code: [Select]

[img]http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/albums/userpics/10031/normal_red_compoteA.jpg[/img]
Which looks like this:-

(http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/albums/userpics/10031/normal_red_compoteA.jpg)

An enhancement is to click to enlarge, obtaining the URL in the same way from the large image, thus:-

Code: [Select]

[url=http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/albums/userpics/10031/red_compoteA.jpg][img]http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/albums/userpics/10031/normal_red_compoteA.jpg[/img][/url]
Which looks like this:-

---

Another enhancement is to change the size (using either height or width), thus:-

Code: [Select]

[url=http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/albums/userpics/10031/red_compoteA.jpg][img height=300]http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/albums/userpics/10031/normal_red_compoteA.jpg[/img][/url]
Which looks like this:-

(http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/albums/userpics/10031/normal_red_compoteA.jpg) (http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/albums/userpics/10031/red_compoteA.jpg)

Does that all make sense?

Clear as MUD!  But I'll try it!!

I'm right clicking in "MY Gallery" on the photo and clicking on "Properties", but it only shows the http and there is nowhere to "enhance" click to make a change.  What am I doing wrong?

Nancy, the easiest way to get your pictures to show up on the board is to add them as attachments to your message, rather than putting them into GlassGallery. That way they will show as clickable thumbnails below your text, like the one below:

Okay, Anne!  Let's see if this works.

This looks like Gunderson Pairpoint from the late 40's when they used the swirl connector & free flowing more modern designs. Ken

Thanks Ohio, I believe you're correct!!  :thup:  I just looked in the "The Essence of Pairpoint" by Marion and Sandra Frost.  Thanks for steering me in the right direction.
