A stunning gold-iridescent bowl (shown about life-sized at top). In the centre of the ground and polished pontil is a Lobmeyr label that dates from about 1931 (see detail at lower left).
J & L Lobmeyr have been manufacturers, refiners and retailers of the very best-quality glassware in Vienna, Austria, since 1822. They have also often bought glassware in from other manufacturers, notably Loetz. At first sight it, this bowl looks like a piece of Myra Kristal by WMF, but the overall shape (and particularly the three applied feet) is more like Loetz. Or was it actually produced by Lobmeyrs themselves?

A handsome powder-pot (shown much smaller than life-sized at top, left) in Bristol-blue glass, with an acid-etched and gilded frieze of revelling classical figures with cherubs around the base (shown in three of the four lower details), and on the lid (detail at top, right). The remaining detail (lower right) shows the acid-etched background pattern, which we have seen before on pieces from the Val St Lambert factory, so we assume this powder-pot is also by them

A finely-blown pair of Art Nouveau wine-glasses (shown slightly smaller than life-sized at top) with optic-ribbed ogee bowls on diminishing barley-twist stems (see detail, lower right). They are made of pale green radium-glass which fluoresces strongly under ultraviolet light (see detail, lower centre). Probably by Powells
