    A bottle-shaped crystal decanter (shown very much smaller than life-sized, against contrasting backgrounds) by Webb Corbett, cut with a pattern of interlocking leaf-shapes. Both the stopper and the collar of the decanter are numbered '2' in diamond-point, and the star-cut base is acid etched with the 'WEBB CORBETT, ENGLAND' mark, for the year 1965

    A Venini fazzoletto or 'handkerchief vase' (shown rather smaller than life-sized, from various angles) in pink and white Zanfirico glass, probably designed by Fulvio Bianconi. The pontil and the basal rim are ground flat and polished in the normal manner (see detail at top, right). The base is acid-etched 'venini, murano', although the mark is very hard to see (easiest when held at an angle directly under an electric light)

    We think this heavy decanter (shown roughly life-sized at left) 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 (just visible on the end of the stopper at centre, right), and Holmegaard certainly produced many pieces in the 1960s cased with a colour over white in this manner

    Thanks to Mark Hill (collector of post-War Czech glass, and author of 'Hi Sklo Lo Sklo'), we now know that this attractive vase (shown much smaller than life sized at top,left, and from three different angles in the lower row of photos) is a prototype for the 'Karneval' range of glassware designed by Frantisek Koudelka, and produced by the Prachen glassworks in early 1973
