Title: Isle of Wight Glass Identification
Post by: PaulFitz on February 01, 2015, 09:47:44 PM

I have just started collecting Isle of Wight glass and i just want to be 100% sure on these two pieces.

I think the smaller one is called "Ribbons" and the larger is called "Satin"

So if anyone out there can confirm this it would be greatly appreciated .

Hello and welcome, I'm no expert but they look right to me, I think these are what were used as the basis for the Royal Brierley studio range, ;D ;D

Yes, you are spot on. The globe PB is Satin and the conical PB is Black Ribbons. See these pages:

Those are great links from knowledgable folk, but you're welcome to ask and discuss anything about glass here too.

Finding a piece of Satin is a great way to start collecting IOW glass. It is scarce and hard to find. And in New Zealand too!

Yes,really pleased with the Satin perfume bottle.Not sure if i paid too much at $125NZD (63 pounds) but i had to have it.The ribbons bottle came with a Azurene and a peacock vase for a total of $69NZD and that seemed a good price.Now i have the bug for collecting IOW,who knows where it will end.I mainly collect NZ Studio glass from Raos,Nash & Hoglund(son of Erik of Kosta Boda) so i am really pleased to be buying these new pieces to my collection.Cheers.
