shop window: post-War glass (page 3 of 3)
A Monart tumbler vase (shape 'OE', shown much smaller than life-sized, from various angles) in the stronger of the two green colours that were used post-War, with aventurine inclusions
A large decorative vase (shown much smaller than life-sized), of flattened ovoid shape, in cased opaque sky-blue glass with two median white bands. Of unknown origin, and probably quite modern
An even larger decorative vase (shown much smaller than life-sized), of onion shape, in mottled white glass, shading to a dark lilac colour at the neck, with random purple trails. Also of unknown origin, and probably quite modern
A Royal Brierley iridescent scent atomiser (shown much smaller than life-sized), the base acid-etched "Royal Brierley Studio" (see detail below)
In good general condition, and in working order, except that the internal plastic tube is missing (these are easily obtainable, or can be "cannibalised" from any other atomiser)
A Baccarat eight-sided cut crystal decanter (shown much smaller than life-sized), the conical stopper similarly cut around the top. The acid-etched mark has been in use since sometime around 1930, although the design actually dates back to around 1911. We think this particular version was made around the 1960s or 1970s. The overall condition of the decanter is good, although there is some water-staining around one side of the interior. This, of course, would not be visible when the decanter is filled, and could be acid-flushed away by any good glass restorer at a small cost (this is reflected in the low asking price)
A 1950s bullicante lamp-base with gold-leaf (shown roughly life-sized at top) by Archimede Seguso. It did carry a partial Seguso label on the base (see detail above, centre), but it was in such a poor state that we removed it (it would originally have looked like the similar label pictured above, lower centre) N.B.The base of the lamp has a pre-cut channel to accomodate the cable (see detail above, lower left). The original electric fitting was incomplete, so I have changed some parts so that it is now in full working order, although it is not actually wired up at the moment (Healthy & Safety regulations make it illegal to sell it, otherwise). It is easy to re-wire, though, and there is provision for an earth connection, as is now required by law. US buyers should be aware, though, that it takes a European standard 'bayonet' bulb, so would have to be adapted
A small tutti-frutti vase (shown about life-sized from both sides, above), of the sort often attributed to A.Ve.M., but possibly not by them. The base is ground flat, but not polished
