A Vasart 'ogee'-shaped bowl. The 'spider's-web' decor, shading from green to reddish-brown, is very similar to Monart, as is the way the pontil is finished, and we suspect it is an early piece, possibly by Salvador Ysart

We think this heavy decanter may be a product of the Holmegaard glassworks in Denmark, but we are not 100% sure. The body is cased a deep amethyst over opaque white glass (visible on the end of the stopper in the photo at right), and Holmegaard certainly produced many pieces in the 1960s cased with a colour over white in this manner
| Our reference: | 8456 | Date: | c 1960s |
| Manufacturer: | possibly Holmegaard |
Origin: | possibly Denmark |
| UK Price: | £ 25.00 | US guide price: | $ 40.00 |
| Dimensions: | height 22 cm, weight 1105 gm | ||

A handsome Powell/Whitefriars limited-edition goblet with red, white & blue twist stem, the bowl engraved '2nd EIIR June, 1953' beneath a crown, commemorating the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II. The underside of the pontil is engraved 'WHITEFRIARS, No 278' (the highest serial number we have ever come across was about 1,750 or so, but we don't know exactly how many were made). These goblets were blown by Frank Hill, the diamond-point engraving executed by William Wilson. The shape was originally designed in 1936 for the coronation of King George VI, Queen Elizabeth's father
