Old england: please help ID
-
Your dove is a seagull, does that help :24:
-
Thats rigt! I have made a mistake, >:D
but it does not help really, because I want to know:
who made it and perhaps where?
-
The seagull looks like some of the animals made in China. So I bet the pwt is recent Chinese.

Hallo Anita!
I know something about chinese paperweights.
If you are looking how good the lampwork was made, you
would never presume that this is chinese.
Of course: I have a presumtion:
for me it looks like Joska Glas ( that means: German, Bodenmais),
but I am not quite sure!
-
The base appears slightly frosty to me. My guess would also be Chinese. The newest Chinese paperweights are quite nice.
-
I took another look at the bird. I actually think it is supposed to be an eagle. It looks like the Chinese eagle figurines.
-
I was thinking Bald Eagle with the white head and the feather pattern.

On the recent PCC Trip to Germany we went to Joska, and - very disappointingly - many of their paperweights were Chinese (but with a Joska label - I guess they polish the base or something else trivial to make it legal). I didn't see any eagles though!

Hallo Alan.
I have bought this eagle ( or what ever) in the 1970er from a shop with "Joska Glas".
In the first years, the item have had also an Joska label on the bottom.
I would like to know, if the chinese now are willing and abele to make lampework like
that eagle.
Regards
Lothar

The Chinese lampwork creatures, usually set above the main elements of the design, are of very acceptable quality and some are much better than others. I think they certainly have the ability to make the "eagle" in the weight discussed - but I don't know for sure that the weight is, or is not, Chinese.
-
If the Chinese craftsman have been able or are now able to make such lampwork, I will declare: it is near to willi manson and absolutely collectable!
-
Oh I agree!
Their newest millefiori is very nice too I've bought 5 in the last year and a half.

Thanks to everybody!
