A large and stunning agate- or spatter-glass vase, in shades of blue and caramel. On the only previous occasion that we had a piece with similar decor, it was confirmed as a late product of the Loetz factory by a German colleague. It is constructed in two parts; the upper part is cased clear, both inside and out, and the foot (separated from the top by an annular knop) is cased clear to the exterior, but white to the interior (see detail below)
Because the foot-rim has been folded over and then ground flat, it has left a sharp edge to the interior of the rim, which has suffered a few nibbles in places (the most obvious one is shown at top centre in the detail below), but none of them are visible when the vase is standing

A bit of a mystery, this very elegant vase. The decoration appears to be a stylised, rather oriental-looking, 'weeping willow' in translucent green enamel, which has been laid on so thickly that it gives it a 'cameo' effect
Our feeling is that the vase is European (there is something a bit 'Wiener Werkstätte-ish' about the design), and dates from about the 1920s, though we are not certain of that. There is no doubting the quality of the workmanship - does anyone out there know who made it?

A very interesting 'Tango'-style vase, cased clear over a green-aventurine patchwork, over an orange interior, with an applied black rim. The vase has no pontil-mark, so must have been held by a 'gadget' while the rim was applied. Probably by either Kralik or Rindskopf

I've always loved this pre-War 'cloudy glass' by James Powell & Sons. This green & blue 'cloudy' vase is a barrel-shape (their pattern 8608), designed in about 1930, possibly by Marriott Powell. It came in two sizes, of which this is the larger

This vase in Bristol blue glass is in a shape frequently used by the Czechoslovakian glassworks of Josef Riedel. However, the style of the colourful glossy-enamelled bird in foliage is not what you would expect from Riedel. Any suggestions, anyone?

| UK Price: | £ 55.00 | US guide price: | $ 88.00 |

A superb silver-mounted cut crystal decanter by the highly-regarded Thomas Gibbons Hawkes & Co of Corning, New York (also known as the Hawkes Rich Cut Glass Co). From the 'Art Nouveau' style of the engraving, we think this decanter is from the early 20th Century
T G Hawkes & Co decorated 'blanks' bought from the Corning Glass Co, and provided cut glass for the White House, amongst other prestigious customers. This particular decanter has cut and wheel-engraved floral decoration, the stems and leaves polished, with the petals of the flowers (which include Irises) left unpolished in contrast. The silver screw-on cap (third from right) is impressed 'Hawkes, Sterling', with the neck-fitting impressed 'STERLING' (second from right). The base of the decanter bears the company's acid-etched mark (right)
