Hello
I wonder if any of you kind people can help identify this maker
I am really struggling with this one
thank you
regards Alan

We really need more and larger photos please, Alan. Try a shot from the top looking down, a side on view and a base view, all on a plain white background please - that stops confusion with ther colours in the image, and makes the colours of your piece more obvious. Then make the images 700pixels along the longest edge and save for web and they should come in under the file size limit for uploading here. Shout if you get stuck and need help. :)

Thanks Anne
here is another attempt
hope it works
regards Alan

Chompret / Chomprel? ???
-
it's really hard this one
absolutely nothing I can find on the internet or in my books
I don't believe it is rare
regards Alan
-
I wondered if it originally had another part to it, a bit like this idea?

May we have a picture of the base please, it just might help? :)

Hello Rosie
thanks for the reply
I did wonder myself, but I don't it had any other part to it
the base is plain but I will add a picture of it later
as you can see it is really small
I can't find anything of this maker on the internet or in my books I assume it's French very much like the colours of Galle'
the name is obviously small but it looks like L Chomprell, or L Chompret
someone out there must have other pieces by this maker
It's very interesting I would really love to know more about this maker
kind regards Alan

I am on the case Alan, and have asked the French Forum for help... I never give up... ask any of the members here... so onwards and upwards! ;D

Hello
Sorry for my late reply
Here are some more pictures that might help
A little bit about the glass it measures 2 9/16" or 65 mm for the younger folk diameter and 13/16", 20 mm wide
the texture at the top and bottom is grainy
as to it's purpose I have no idea
please ask if you need more information
regards Alan
-
I've had a suggestion from France as well... L C Hompret / Homprel... hopefully to be continued...

It is a similar design to a vase on this link (about 10 down, green and dark brown/black cameo vase) that I think must have been id'd as Delatte - Andre Delatte, as it's on a link all about his glass.

and another with some design similarities here

The rim is very curious on the bowl.

Hello
thanks for the reply flying free and the links
the vase with the handles is a beauty
I still can't find anything of this maker
regards Alan

I'm just wondering if it is possibly a made up name and a copy of an Andre Delatte pattern. The rim of the bowl is odd. Your photos are difficult to see well. But I've only seen that kind of ground rim on a cameo piece once before and that was on an ashtray I had that I always thought was tip galle i.e. a Romanian cameo glass piece.
However... I know nearly nothing about cameo glass. And it's quite possible that the ground rim on your piece is seen on genuine period pieces, it's just I havent' seen anything that wasn't fire polished or cut and polished/finished with a bevelled edge.

Hello
Galle tip is a copy of the genuine article
but who would copy a name on a piece no one can identify?
intriguing isn't it
I have looked at all 32 pages of L Chompret and all I have discovered is something to do with dentistry and genes and someone of that name that has sold a collection of porcelain
regards Alan

sorry missed out the google 32 pages
