Title: Walther Pierette and Pierrot clock
Post by: oyemicanto on September 28, 2011, 09:30:12 PM

Good evening
I am soon to be receiving a Walther blue glass Pierette & Pierrot clock.
Was wondering if anyone had any photos of this clock in any colour please?
Pamela I have seen on your site you have a photo of a pink one....is this in your collection?
Best wishes Nigel

There's a photo of a blue one in one of the PK's, Nige, along with a catalogue image, but I can't remember which PK it was. Perhaps the Walther 1936 issue?

Hi Anne
I went on the PK pages and the Walther 1936 catalogue cannot be opened.....looked at the others but not in those so perhaps as you say it's in the 1936?

Great find Nige  :hiclp:

I've only seen a pink and a blue one so far....pink as in Pamela's website and a blue one which was listed and ended on ebay a couple of months ago.

The 1936 catalogue only showed the image in black and white, can't see one in blue unless I missed out on some pages

Cheers
Brenton

I couldn't find that page hopefully someone will point me in the right direction?
Yes it's definately one of the rarer pieces will look great in my collection!
I know there is a couple who live in Australia that collect blue Walther glass think they're called Wally and Dean?
They have an amazing collection including some lovely other colour pieces in Walther...I wonder if they have the clock in blue in their collection?
I found a link with some gorgeous photos of the Madonna lamp in green...looks stunning!

Hi Anne
WOW! That's gorgeous! I thank you so much for putting the link on I can't wait to get my hands on it!

Isn't it superb!  :rah:  Glad I was able to find it for you to see. :)

Yes Anne it is superb! Wish they were easier to find though....I wonder if they were limited in production?
I do have a few rare pieces of Walther but there are still a good few pieces I need to find.Trying my damnest to find the Haarlem and Petri pieces.

The catalogue only mentions pink, green and blue as colours

Title: Re: Walther Pierette and Pierrot clock
Post by: oyemicanto on September 30, 2011, 06:38:09 AM

Yes I noticed that too.
It's a shame they didn't do amber as I have always thought that a wonderful colour in glass....when the sun catches amber it is a lovely butterscotch colour.
I have found over the years in collecting amber seems to be the lesser colour that people collect....more for me lol

I generally don't do amber unless it's uranium amber and I positively dislike frosted amber.

Hi Anne

Thanks for the link. I wonder why they didn't make amber for this clock as well. Also noticed that I haven't recall seeing a Peter Pan or the Ship with the large waterlily bowl in amber too....Have you, Nige?

Cheers

I have never seen them myself either....I do recall someone once telling me they saw an amber Nymphen dressing table set and on ebay a while back there was for sale an amber 3 graces which looked amazing.
I know you have said in the past that Australians don't usually like amber.
I have a lovely amber Gansiliesel figure in amber seerose bowl.

Some collectors here do collect amber glass but majority here prefer green pink or blue glass

Title: Re: Walther Pierette and Pierrot clock
Post by: oyemicanto on October 02, 2011, 08:52:52 AM

Think I have to admit the best pieces I have in Walther amber are probably amber Orla as she is a thick dark golden brown colour and my amber Glasgow which shows great detailing of the ladies stretching and the folds of their clothing.
Have you seen my other post Brenton with the green float bowl with the lilypads? Wondered if you had any clue about it?

Just looked at it, I believe it was made by Mueller, Germany.

That's gorgeous!  I think they rank alongside the bowl with the pelican (sorry no idea what it is but I did like the sculpture middle bit) as the ones I like best in these.

Hi all
Thank you so much for your kind words....I sure am one lucky young man!
I am lucky to have some great contacts out there who lookout for me these special pieces.
Am lucky to have some great rare pieces in my collection which are becomer harder to find...I catch myself just stood sometimes staring at my collection with a smile!
Next stop Haarlem or Petri!
By the way flying free the piece you describe is the Paradies comport in the photo which I also have!

Nigel I love that as well but the one I was thinking of has a frosted glass pelican sat in the middle of a bowl, like a lady would be if ykwim?
Off this topic, but could you do me a favour and look at the thread where I have listed a frosted glass bust please?  do you recognise it from anywhere at all?  Any help would be much appreciated if you have time.
many thanks

I'm sure you'll find the Haarlem or the Petri oneday.

Congrats re: Pierette clock.

I wonder when will be my turn to find rarer pieces of Walther for my collection? :(

Title: Re: Walther Pierette and Pierrot clock
Post by: oyemicanto on October 09, 2011, 09:52:27 AM

Flying free....the pelican set you mention is the Pelikan centrepiece by Walther....another gorgeous set,I have in all colours.
I adore Walther glass they paid so much attention to detail.I wish I could find some more amber Walther pieces aswell as green pieces.
I would love an amber Arabella lamp!
I have taken a look at that bust on your thread and my first thought was a mascot aswell....I have emailed a good glass friend of mine to see if they can come up with anything.

Nigel thank you  :)
Could it really be a mascot then?  I haven't seen any that seem to have a hole in the head?  I mean I guess some nut would screw onto the rod that went through the body so the figure would then have a nut showing at the top of the head?  that doesn't seem quite right to me  :-\
Anyway, I will wait eagerly to hear of any more leads and thanks again.
