    shop window: pre-War glass (page 4 of 4)

    A very pretty solifleur vase (shown about life-sized at top), the acid-matted green body hand-gilded and -enamelled with floral decoration. The gilding and glossy enamelling is very much in the French style, and possibly by Legras & Cie

    Our reference: 8393 Date: circa 1900
    Manufacturer: possibly
    Legras
    Origin: France
    UK Price: £ 80.00 US guide price: $ 128.00
    Dimensions:height 15.5 cm, weight 180 gm
    Condition: very good

    A striking, gourd-shaped vase (shown much smaller than life sized at top,left, and from three different angles in the lower row of photos) that we believe to be from the "Ikora glas" range by W.M.F., circa 1930s. The shape is similar, but not identical, to known pieces from this range, as are the technique and coloration (collectors and dealers will be aware that every piece of "Ikora" was deliberately made slightly differently from every other, and very many "one-off" pieces were produced). The pontil is central, ground and polished, and there is good, consistent wear to the base rim

    Our reference: 7917 Date: c 1930s
    Manufacturer: probably W.M.F. Origin: Germany
    UK Price: £ 95.00 US guide price: $ 152.00
    Dimensions:height 22.5 cm, weight 1170 gm
    Condition: very good

    A primrose-yellow Schaumglas vase (shown from two angles, much smaller than life-sized) of flattened octagonal shape, which we believe to be part of W.M.F.'s Ikora range, although we have not, so far, been able to confirm this

    Our reference: 7880 Date: c 1930s
    Manufacturer: probably W.M.F. Origin: Germany
    UK Price: £ 70.00 US guide price: $ 112.00
    Dimensions:height 19 cm, weight 1090 gm
    Condition: very good

    A set of six elegant, fine-blown tumblers (one shown about life-sized at lower left), the flared bodies with four indentations toward the base, the feet ground flat. Very much in the style of Powells, and possibly by them

    One of the glasses has a flaw between two of the indentations (ringed in the details at centre and lower right) which appears to be a burst bubble, and the asking price reflects this

    Our reference: 8234 Date: c 1900s

    Powell
    Origin: England
    UK Price: £ 50.00 (the set) US guide price: $ 80.00 (the set)
    Dimensions:height 11 cm, weight 515 gm (the set)
