An elegant, glossy "Queen's Burmese" vase by Thomas Webb & Sons
The vase is in good condition, but there are a couple of greyish 'smear' marks to the top of the foot (visible in the two details at right) which must have occurred during manufacture. They are very superficial, and could easily be polished out by a competent restorer if required

A late 18th Century two-part wine-glass. The gather has been blown into a mould, so that the bell-shaped bowl appears to have been flute-cut, and the baluster stem shows the same ribbing. The pontil beneath the applied foot has been snapped off. The body has a pinkish/brownish tinge, and the glass fluoresces slightly under UV light (see centre photo, above)
The condition of th glass is generally good, but I believe the rim has been ground to remove a chip. The proportions still look OK, so I don't think much has been taken off, but the price reflects this repair

A pretty pair (and they are a genuine pair, with one flower being the mirror-image of the other) of mid 19th Century glossy white opaline vases, hand-gilded and -enamelled with rococo decoration around a single tulip blossom. We think they're probably French, but they could even be English (Richardsons?)

| Manufacturer: | unknown | Origin: | probably French |
| UK Price: | £ 90.00 (the pair) |
US guide price: | $ 144.00 (the pair) |
| Dimensions: | height 20.5 cm, weight 525 gm (the pair) | ||

A fine vase in pale radium-green glass (see detail at second right for the effect of UV light), hand-enamelled and -gilded (detail at centre), probably from the Harrach glassworks
There appears to be a small chip or indentation in the rim (arrowed in the detail at right), but, as it has clearly been gilded over in the original decorating process, it must have occurred earlier in the manufacture (probably while the handle was being attached)

Two similar (but not identical) Richardson tazzas. The original design can be seen in the page from a Richardson catalogue of around 1851 (below, left), and the enlarged detail (below, right)
 |
 |
The catalogue page is headed as follows:
The technique was a Richardson patent, and the bowl of each tazza is moulded in this manner, with an applied cranberry rim which has been printy-cut. It is supported on a hexagonally-cut hollow stem. The foot is flat and star-cut to the underside, unlike the illustration in the catalogue (where it is domed and printy-cut), and we therefore think this is a slightly later variation of the design, probably from about the 1880s

A beautiful, shallow dish with gilded scallop-cut rim, cut on the underside with a geometric pattern, containing olive-green enamelled panels of gilded intaglio-cut baskets of flowers. These panels have then been picked out with gilt borders on the upper surface. Sadly, these photos do not in the least capture the resulting amazing optical effect of depth of the decoration when viewed from above. We think the dish is Continental, and quite probably French
| Our reference: | 8884 | Date: | late 19th C |

| UK Price: | £ 65.00 | US guide price: | $ 104.00 |
| Dimensions: | diameter 14 cm, weight 160 gm | ||
| Condition: | very slight rubbing of the gilding in places, but generally very good | ||
