Has anyone got the Walther Petri or Luna pieces decorated with fish? I have seen these in the catalogues but never actually in anyones collection.Would love to see these in a photo! Also a close up picture of the correct bowl that goes with the Paradies comport stand that is decorated with nesting pelicans?

welcome to the board oyemicanto! are you relevant to cosasdehistoria on ebay please?
-
I do not need further glass from Spain! >:D
-
Spain Pamela...? oyemicanto appears to be based in the UK, so where is Spain coming in? Are you being offered nice Spanish glass by someone? ;D
-
Sorry Im not following? No Im not familiar with cosadehistoria on ebay.The only Spanish connection I have is that Ive just sold a Deco bowl to Madrid.What is the relevance of the "function of an expert....." log that I see a lot? Am I missing something?

It's Pamela's chosen signature tagline. You can set one for yourself in your profile if you wish, e.g mine just contains links to my (hopefully useful!) sites. ::)

Hi Nigel
Are you still interested to see a photo of the Petri centrepiece as well as the Luna lamp?
Cheers

Hi Brenton
Yes that would be lovely! I am yet to see one in the flesh!
Speaking of Walther picked up a blue Glasgow bowl yesterday as well as a green Jobling graces comport!
Best wishes Nige and thanks in advance!

Hi Brenton
They are so wonderful! I am so jealous haha!
I would love either of those and I have some people on the lookout for them for me....I wonder if they were made more for the Australian market than the European?
I once saw the green Petri figure on ebay in USA and was bidding but outbid at the last minute but that was a couple of years ago and never seen one since.
Well done for being able to find both pieces I wish I had something as rare in my collection....think the only thing rare is probably the pink Paradies comport.
I have Relief vases and Harald vases in most colours and 3 Glasgow bowls as well as every Orla but nothing as rare as your pieces.
Oh I do have a blue Koalas centrepiece-nearly forgot about that haha! I prefer the other colours of Koalas rather than blue....would be great to find an amber one as I love that colour!
Thanks once again Brenton for sharing your wonderful photo!

No worries at all.
You might be right saying that those rarer Walther pieces like Petri, Haarlem, Victoria comport are easier to find in Australia than in Europe coz a few collectors here I know (including myself) owned a Haarlem centrepiece with the right Groningen bowl and A couple of collectors had the Victoria comport Also, I've seen a couple of Paradies comport in green. You do have something rare and spectacular, and did you miss out naming your spectacular pink Arabella lamp and the amber Lowen clock? :)....I am still looking for these pieces myself.
I hope oneday you'll find the Petri for your collection.....Good luck and all the best
Cheers....Brenton
-
Wow!
I would love the Victoria comport and Haarlem myself one day!
Yes I forgot about the Arabella and Lowen I remembered when I went upstairs and saw them on the display shelves!
I have the pink Astoria pot and green Xenia trinket pot also which are seldom seen so I suppose I should be happy with what I have so far lol
Take care Nige

A couple of months ago, there was one Victoria comport listed on ebay Australia in amber colour....the buyer won the item for $120.....I spent most of my time browsing for new listing but I missed this one :(.....The seller was a new member, and didn't list it in the right category...so the buyer was very happy with the purchase.
Item number # 160571243633 or
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160571243633
Glad its not in green, blue or pink......although even amber, its still a spectacular centrepiece.
Cheers

Now I am depressed! lol
That is one stunning comport! I adore amber glass and I bet that would look stunning with the sun shining through it.
I believe that the buyer has a wonderful collection of Walther glass and this would be a great addition to their Walther.That's another piece I will have to ask my contacts to look out for!
I was surprised when I first got my pink Paradies comport that the matching bowl was a pegged bowl....I had always assumed it was just a regular flat bowl that slotted on top.It's lovely with the pelicans resting in the straw around the bowl.I know Mark Rodda has the same in green so that would be amazing to see.
Amber is my 2nd favourite colour in Walther green being my favourite.

Most collectors would prefer green Uranium as their number one choice. Amber seems to be least favourite amongst collectors here in Australia not sure in the UK.....Amber pieces are not as expensive as Uranium for sure.
