Title: Pressed Black Glass Plinth - ID help please
Post by: meegs on July 12, 2010, 04:03:16 AM
Hello Everyone,
Like many glass enthusiasts if I see a plinth going begging in a shop I can't help myself and usually purchase it.
This one came home yesterday and I need help finding a maker.
It stands 2 inches high, internal diameter is 4 1/4 inches. Its wides point is 6 inches and its base is 12 sides.
The decoration is stylised floral with what looks like sheaths of wheat, repeating itself (flowers-wheat-flowers-wheat).
It is quite heavy for its size and there is no transparency when held up in strong light.
Thanks for your help.
Meegs :hi:

I'm pretty good on plinths, but I can't recall seeing that splendid example before.   Probably not British.

Thank-you Pamela,
I would indeed be one happy camper if I ever found that beautiful bowl, it fits all the criteria of what I am trying to limit my collecting to!
Cheers
Meegs

Siegmar Geiselberger Has a wonderful web site I wish we could have some of his work translated in to English, how much would it cost we could all pay a little towards this cost I am sure it would be worth it!!
