A late 19th Century St Louis part-frosted pressed paperweight in the form of a reclining male child
Sadly, there is a tiny chip to one side of the boy's nose, and this is reflected in the very low asking price

Most of a Davidson 'jade' glass trinket set. I can't establish the Davidson reference number for the set as a whole; it is similar to their set 326 (illustrated in the 1935 and 1940 catalogues), but some pieces are slightly different
The advertised set 326 has eight components; the tray, two candlesticks, two small lidded pots, one larger lidded pot, and two pin-trays. It seems, therefore, that there is one pin-tray missing, one larger lidded pot, and the lid from the other smaller pot. All the pieces present are in generally good condition, with just one tiny chip to the under-edge of each of the two candlesticks

A pair of large 19th Century pressed uranium-glass salts. They are very similar in shape and style to Percival, Vickers & Co's design registration of 16th July 1867 for a 'bowl and oval dish elaborate pattern imit. cut' (RD 209574 - see below, left). Although not identical, we are fairly sure these salts are by the same company

| Manufacturer: | probably Percival, Vickers & Co |
Origin: | England |
| UK Price: | £ 40.00 (the pair) |
US guide price: | $ 64.00 (the pair) |
| Dimensions: | length 10 cm, weight 490 gm (the pair) | ||
| Condition: | a few small nibbles, but generally very good | ||

'Chippendale' pattern glassware was first produced under the name 'KRYS-TOL' by the US companies Ohio Flint Glass Co (c 1900-1908), then by the Jefferson Glass Co (1908-1918), then by the Central Glass Works (1919 onward), during which time it was imported into the UK by the National Glass Co, London. In 1930, George Davidson & Co began to manufacture Chippendale in the UK under licence, and finally bought the moulds outright in 1933
This Chippendale hair-tidy (shown from various angles), is pattern number 1190 in the Davidson catalogues. For anyone who has not come across a hair-tidy before, it was an essential part of a lady's dressing-table set. Hair pulled from her hairbrush was deposited into it through the hole in the lid, for later disposal

A superb, and extremely rare, Jobling matt opalescent elephant, their pattern number 10700, design number 795793, registered on 22nd August 1934. As with most of Jobling's animal figures, it was designed in France (the artist's name is not recorded), and the model for the mould executed by Etienne Franckhauser, who had worked for both St Louis and Lalique, among other companies
There is a partial moulded mark 'REGN. APPLIED FOR' just behind the elephant's left foreleg (detail below, left), so this is an early example. The condition is generally excellent, with just one tiny shell-chip below one of the elephant's toes (below, right), which is not noticeable when the figure is upright

A rare Sowerby 'Jack Horner' bellows from the 'nursery rhyme ' series based on the illustrations of Walter Crane, in purple marble glass. The actual design is more easily visible in the detail second from right, which is from the 1882 Sowerby catalogue, and also shows the pattern number (1285).
Sadly, as is so often the case, the tip of the bellows is incomplete (the yellow line in the detail at right shows how the tip should be), and the low asking price reflects this
