A Thomas Webb Queen's Burmese vase (shown rather smaller than life-sized, from various angles), with hand-enamelled decoration from the studio of Jules Barbe. The base bears a particularly clear example of Webbs' acid-etched mark (see detail at top, right), bearing the Registered Number 67648 (for 9th February 1887)
Unfortunately, the extreme tip of one of the 'horns' has evidently been chipped at some time. While the repair has been well done, and the fault is barely noticeable (it is visible on the left in the larger photo), it is reflected in the low asking price for a piece that is both signed and enamelled

A fine example of 'gallows humour' - a whisky-glass (shown approximately life-sized, from various angles), panel-cut all around, engraved with the words 'Ye Laste Droppe' and a man suspended from a gibbet. In the base, a sealed compartment contains three dice. The ideal accoutrement for the young blood about town!

This vase (shown very much smaller than life-sized) is amongst the largest pieces of vaseline-glass that we have ever seen. It is beautifully made, with a perfectly-controlled spiral trail ascending to the rim, and a central round, polished pontil (see detail below, left). As you would expect, it fluoresces strongly under ultraviolet light (below, right). We are reliably informed (thanks Nigel!) that it is a product of the Stuart factory

A very pretty pair of Stourbridge vases (shown very much smaller than life-sized) in vaseline-glass with an overall lattice-moulding, shading to a deep cranberry colour inside the crimped rims. They fluoresce quite strongly under ultraviolet light (see detail at right)

A splendidly elegant translucent white opaline vase (shown very much smaller than life-sized) of classical form, with hand -gilded decoration, including three cascading vines around the body. Almost certainly from the Richardson factory, circa 1840s

An elegant Stourbridge optic-ribbed vaseline-glass vase (shown slightly smaller than life-sized at left, above)). From its' shape, it was possibly intended for growing hyacinths bulbs in, although it is rather taller than is normal for this purpose. The detail at lower right shows the effect of ultraviolet light

A mid 19th Century cream-jug (shown rather smaller than life-sized) with applied rim-trail and 'pump' handle, which is finished with a raspberry prunt (see detail at top, right). The glass is a strong 'Bristol' blue, but unfortunately our camera seems unable to capture the violet tint of this colour, and always shows it as rather paler and less intense. The base is polished flat, with a ground and polished pontil

A super Regency wine-glass (shown about life-sized at right, above) in that particularly beautiful intense 'Bristol green' colour that our camera, unfortunately, is quite unable to capture properly. The glass has a triple collar below the bowl, with a bladed knop to the stem
