I went out today to post some parcels to my local head office post office and past a garage sale, Stopped car as couldnt not go and have a look and found this massive gulvase for £5 in the garage and a few other nik-naks ideal for the home an extendable dog lead etc what a result. Just shows its always worth stopping to see!!
I wondered if anybody else has found anything nice of late. Hope i dont appear a big head but thought id share my find its 52cm tall lol i nearly fell over when i picked it up
-
Good find that, my wife asked me to get her something from a local charity shop the other day and I found this Strathearn vase, can't remember what it was she wanted me to get ::) ;D
-
I was surprised to find this large Isle of Wight Harris piece at a local thrift store recently. Now to just find some more :)
-
my morning walks usually take in quite a few charity shops, although good finds these days are few and far between.
This morning I found an almost mint Knopf (States) first edition copy of Dahl's 'Danny The Champion of the World', for £0.99p - with brilliant dj - albeit price clipped, and thought I'd cracked it and this had to be worth at least £125 - till I got home and realized that someone had carefully removed the front free e/p....... ahhhhh. But I still think it's worth more than £0.99p. Offers anyone? ;)
But then found this Orrefors decanter - marked Orrefors NA 1623. Not old I'm sure, and don't yet know the designer, but a nice bold piece and worth the £3.99 I paid.
-
Two fab glass mirrors were my best finds... £25 the pair!
-
Lovely vasart piece OMG an isle of wight charger that is one of my dreams to find one of those im glad its happened for you 100% I have to hand it too "danny the champion of the world though" That story where he tricks the pheasants into faling asleep with raisons laced with sleeping tablets has to be one of the best stories ever made..
-
I always said that these things always happen to other people, but I was visiting SF and picked up this Cenedese Aquarium for $3 and the Lalique table bell for $5...happy days!
-
Great finds for great money everyone :)
I particularly like the aquarium block :mrgreen:
I found these lovely 19th century Meisenthal figural candlesticks today at a local thrift store, 4 Euro each...

Mine have some damage but they have a very healthy estimate and are up for auction with a rather large auction house starting with a capital "C" in June 8)
-
What a great thread. So many wonderful finds.
-
I found something recently which got me pretty excited... but it was on the Internet (on Allegro). I bid on and won a boxed set of Hortensja 'pandora' glasses. They're much more impressive in real life than I thought they would be. :)
-
Great find Anik, those are lovely, ;D ;D
-
very unusual - great find Anik. :)
-
Absolutely lovely Anik -- and a whole set! :P
It took me years to find my two >> http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,49549.0.html (http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,49549.0.html)

Hi,I was well chuffed to find a Webb wave decanter the other day with ,at last,a signature from 09 to35 and I'm now going to recheck all my Webb glass because it's so small and thin!it's close to the wear marks and I can easily see how many get lost.
-
Beijing Antique Mall in May, 2014:
loads of wood carvings, ceramics, china, lacquer ware, embroideries, paintings, coins etc. - and one single piece of pressed glass ;D
-
Just as a reference to folk as green as me and it has to be turned at angles to be seen!
-
I would have thought this particular T/Webb backstamp was on the Board's 'Glass Gallery, but haven't checked.
Regret to say that what little we can see doesn't really convey much idea of what the full mark should look like - may we also see a pic of the whole decanter, please :)
I did like Anne's mirrors - very stylish.
-
Ok Paul,it's along story,but my wife has to upload the photos and then email them to me ::),so it will have to be tomorrow night,hope this isn't going to spoil this fun thread.
-
heavens above - certainly not - but wouldn't want our 'fun' to be spoiled - so look forward to hearing more from you soon ;) ;D
This early single word backstamp can be found in several of the books, so no need to struggle photographing what is obviously a poor mark on your piece - I'm sure someone has added it to the Glass Gallery, but have to admit that I still haven't checked.
T/Webb's 'Water Wave' is one of their C19 patterns, and according to C.H. started life in 1886 - and in the flesh for me, at least, it has that rather indeterminate and vague look - probably just like water I suppose. ;D
The original T/Webb factory drawing, submitted to the Board of Trade in 1886 and first Registered on 08.10.1886 under Rd. No. 58375, does however have quite a defined sort of patterning - I think the problem is that when it's transferred to glass then somehow the distinctiveness is lost.
I've shown the original factory drawing for Water Wave before, but in case anyone is vaguely interested then here it is again.

Sorry to have possibly killed-off the fun aspect of this thread bat - perhaps someone would like to tell a risqué joke and bring it back.
My congratulations on having a wife who helps you with up-loading - might you consider sharing her with other GMB members who are less fortunate? ;)
-
Call me old old fashioned Paul but I'm not into wife sharing just yet,I found it on a sunny Sunday morning and the mark stood out really well at a certain angle ,when I returned home however i couldn't find it!Thanks for the info much appreciated :)
-
Has to be said ,a poor photo,looks a lot stronger pattern in the flesh.
-
oh, I don't know - think your missus takes a pretty good snap - particularly like the fence, nicely in focus and colour looks realistic. ;) - clear glass is always the most difficult to photograph.
I hate to be Mr. Picky but......... are you really sure this is Water Wave - looks possible like one of the other Webb patterns. :-\
Edited to add...... which illustration/book are you using for an id?
-
???ahh,not wave then,I'm using the bat20 random stabs in the dark reference book,not in print yet but a must for all glass numpties.I take the photos then have to give them to my wife to upload and then email to me,it's an apple thing on iPads,not even their card reader will work with mine and I've been down there and asked,something about new updates making old apps redundant,blah blah blah,probably just trying too make people buy a new one every few years or so.
-
I suggest a thread called catch of the day.
Today I found:
Homegaard Vase, orange
2 glasses from a danish artist called Iben Kjellberg looking like lady beetles
a green wmf-vlg-zwiesel or so vase
a extrem showy depression glass bowl with blackberries
and a brass tablett, if permitted to talk about, made by Georg Mendelssohn Dresden Hellerau, years 1920/30
I know, bad fotos

Mod: very large images links changed to show link not image as we get complaints about such big pics from users with bandwidth limits or mobile devices. Please either post links if hosted elsewhere, or upload directly to the board so the system creates smaller thumbnails and lets folks choose if they wish to open the larger ones.
-
Is it just me or does anybody else get tunnel vision when they see a fine bit of glass on a shelf which everybody else has missed.
It happened to me with this piece and a whitefriars sunspot.
Happy days.

This kind of thread makes you feel we need some sort of "like"button,so people can respond without clogging up the thread.
-
Sorry you'll have to carry on clogging it up, "Like" buttons are for Facebook not here. :)

Pamela that is nice! Do you know who made it please?
I did like Anne's mirrors - very stylish.
Thank you kind sir! :)

Anne, I thought 'Walther 1934 Lydia.jpg' is visible to everyone? :-*
LYDIA has sisters: XENIA (http://www.pressglas-pavillon.de/deckeldosen/06251.html) and ULM (Walther 1934 Tafel 4 (http://www.pressglas-korrespondenz.de/archiv/pdf/pk-2001-3w-04-mb-walther-1934.pdf)

Fair enough Anne...I read somewhere they can cause technical problems as well,I've never joined up to facebook.

Doh! Sorry Pamela, I didn't read the filename ... I rarely do as they are in most instances not very helpful. ;)

How about a Loetz rainbow jardinière from about 1890 at a Mr Dickinson price. The opal inner is just a variant, as is the subtle irridescence, and they don't all have four colours, though I suspect the "brown" might actually be two overlapping colours. No damage apart from some loss of gilding. http://www.loetz.com/decors-a-z/rainbow
-
Corrr!..that's a real Bobby dazzler Christine.
-
My favourite buy for some time is this little Bohemian vase, iridescent and with enamel flowers. The Powell straw opal shade is very nice too.

My recent "fabby" finds are far too pathetic to post after Christine's and John's.
sulk.
So I'll have to make do with a much older one. Some glass costume jewellery. The sort with the fake pink opal cabochons, made of multiple colours of glass in opalescent glass, over gold foil. This is a lovely set, each cabochon surrounded by 10 bits of cut amethyst glass.
-
well, it looks the part Sue, and if it gave you a buzz when you found it, that's all that matters. :)
-
Didn't you know I'm a (secret) collector of old foiled beads?
It's one of the joys of glass - that it can be made to emulate the most fabulous of gemstones.
I can't tell the difference between diamonds and cut crystal, so why should I bother with stupid diamonds?
Their prices are all fixed in the first place and they really are incredibly boring. Useful for marking glass, though.
I will wear this necklace vey happily, but not the clip-on earrings. Clip-ons just fall off.
-
Here are two of my recent favorites, i think the two (left and middle) are Czech 50's and the third on the right is signed, no idea who by, i think it might British studio glass, i have had that for a while but they all seem blend in well on my best sunlit shelf.
-
Well chuffed to have come across this 20 cm piece from the mighty Erik Hoglund ,H 859/180. ;D
-
Nice one
