An equally stylish Murano bottle or decanter (shown very much smaller than life-sized above), the pale pink body with overall sommerso gold leaf (detail at lower centre). The shape goes back to the early 1950s, but we think this is probably a fairly recent piece. As always with Murano bottles, the stopper is a very loose fit in the neck

A beautifully-made 'bobbin' vase (shown very much smaller than life-sized, from two angles) cased in a vibrant Bristol-blue and hexagonally-cut. We have seen vases like this attributed to the Moser glassworks; the quality is certainly good enough, but it is not signed, and we can find no positive proof of it. It is probably Czech, though, and we think post-War

A set of six glasses (one shown rather smaller than life-sized at top, left) with bubbled stems, designed for Iittala by tapio Wirkkala, circa 1970. They come in the original box (which, admittedly, is pretty tatty!) and each has the original trademark sticker. One glass has a very shallow rim chip (arrowed in the detail at lower right), but could easily be repaired by any competent restorer for very little money

A heavy, hand-blown white opaline bowl (shown very much smaller than life-sized above, from various angles) with applied black rim, of uncertain age and origin, but which would look great with a pile of brightly-coloured fruit in it!

A very pretty Selkirk Glass vase (shown much smaller than life-sized, from various angles) by Peter Holmes (who served his apprenticeship under Paul Ysart at Caithness), with feathered pink and white decoration. The base is engraved "Selkirk Glass, Scotland 1991" (see detail below)

A smile-inducing Chinese hand-carved cameo bowl (shown roughly life-sized at top left, and from various angles), cased green over clear, with a design of three frogs and a dragonfly on a water-lily pad.
How do you date this sort of thing? We haven't a clue, which is why we are including it in 'post-War glass' to be on the safe side, but the Chinese have been producing hand-carved cameo glass since at least sometime in the 19th Century, so it could easily be much older. We leave it to you to decide!
