A Fritz Heckert iridescent vase, the radium-green body (shown under UV light at right) with four applied lion's-head prunts. Although the Heckert refinery was better known for hand-enamelled decoration, from about 1889 they did produce some plain glassware of their own. Some pieces featured these lion's-head prunts, possibly inspired by earlier Venetian glassware (the lion is the symbol of St Mark, patron saint of Venice)

An elegant Stourbridge optic-ribbed vaseline-glass vase. From its' shape, it was possibly intended for growing hyacinths bulbs in, although it is rather taller than is normal for this purpose. The photo at centre shows the effect of ultraviolet light

We had thought that this pale blue opaline tazza dated from the first half of the 19th Century. However, a colleague suggests that the decoration, with its sepia transfer of two classical figures in the centre, and hand-applied gilt and enamel, may well have been inspired by the Northwood carved-cameo tazzas. If this is true, it would date to about 1880. The base is enamelled 'S' and 'C' (see detail at right), which are probably decorator's marks
