Glass / Re: Could this studio vase be Australian?
« Last post by Anne on Today at 01:59:13 AM »
Hello and welcome to the board. We really need larger images to be able to see the signature. Ideally they should be around 700px along the longest side. We have a help topic here if you need assistance with resizing images to fit the board's size limits. https://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,6522.0.html

If you go to the victorianpressedglass.com home page there are lots of other catalogues. I've looked through them a lot but not noticed the elephant tray and haven't seen one elsewhere. It could be quite rare.

Glass / Small shot glass with thread decor
« Last post by Kailikesglas on Yesterday at 01:37:57 PM »
Hello together,

my name is Kai and i just started to collect glas. I focus on glas of daily use and while shopping in netherlands i stumpled upon this shot glas. I have very limited knowledge about glas in general but the fact that the decor is applied with a very thin glas thread and not etched or engraved, made me curious. 

It glows slightly green under 365NM UV Light. I have zero idea how old it could be. So far all my pieces are typicial Art Nouveau glasses around 19th century, but i have the feeling this one could be older?

It would be great, if someone could help me identify this glas.

Here is the Imgur Link: https://imgur.com/a/t5OUvMS

Greetings from germany

Excellent, will do. I think I have some Molineaux and Webb pieces that you don’t have on your site so I will make a note of those too

Thank you for sharing that catalogue, it’s funny how there are so many Sowerby things that have fallen through the cracks - and fantastic to have confirmation that my elephant tray is part of the elephant suite M

Glass / Re: Huge Charity shop window display piece?. Id please.

Thank you for your reply. The shop manager was hoping to get an I.D. on it.
At £50 I think it will remain in her display window a little longer.

Glass / Re: Interesting car boot find
« Last post by Keith Mick on Yesterday at 07:30:48 AM »
Hi thanks for the replies. I have a couple of books, old copies of catalogues which feature amongst many other things oil lamps. Deflectors do appear apparently as part of the purchase, on a lamp stand perhaps and whilst some look to be glass others could well have been made of metal. These catalogues don't appear to sell the deflectors individually, I'm thinking mine could have been sold as such, a more general purpose design. Either way none of the ones featured have a similar shape to mine so the time period may differ slightly.
Cheers
Keith M

Looks more Chinese to me than anything else, especially with that matte-ground pontil mark

Glass / Could this studio vase be Australian?
« Last post by Auntiewainwright on June 13, 2025, 04:19:08 PM »
I would love to know who made this opalescent vase? It was bought in the UK. The signature is really hard to read, but is likely to be something like Penter, Pinter, Porter, Proctor..then the date 94. One suggestion is that it could be Australian, but I have been unable to find anything like it.

All suggestions welcome!

Thanks
