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

    A tall and slender 'solifleur' vase (shown very much smaller than life-sized in the photos above) circa 1900, beautifully hand-enamelled and -gilded with fruiting vines. The glossy enamels of the grapes and vine-leaves are typically French

    The vase is in generally good condition, but has a slight 'bloom' to the interior (visible in the detail above, right). This could be removed by an experienced glass restorer

    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

    A marbled primrose-yellow vase (shown from two angles, much smaller than life-sized) of flattened octagonal shape. Although this sort of Schaumglas (literally 'foam-glass') is more readily associated with the W.M.F. or Loetz glassworks, it was also produced by Haden, Mullet & Haden of Stourbridge, and this shape is known to be one of theirs

    A very pretty acid-matted millefiore mosaic vase (shown rather smaller than life-sized, from various angles) with applied handles, by Fratelli Toso

    SOLD

    Another acid-matted millefiore mosaic vase (shown about life-sized at top right, and in the lower photos), but we don't think this one is by Fratelli Toso. It contains a large variety of canes, some of which we have seen in old Murano paperweights, and one that is clearly a leaf (visible in the photo at top, right, near the rim). Probably by Artisti Barovier, who were also known for their millefiore mosaic work

    Manufacturer:probably
    Artisti Barovier
    Origin:Italy

    Dimensions:height 4.5 cm, weight 95 gm
