A small Harrach bubble-iridescent vase (shown roughly life-sized at left) with hand-applied black and white enamelled decoration, circa 1880s
The condition is generally good, but the white-enamel dots around one side of the base of the neck are missing (see detail at right). We think this was a manufacturing fault (once fired-on, the enamel dots would be next to impossible to remove), and this imperfection is reflected in the low asking price

The applied winged dragon is of clear glass with included gold leaf, black and yellow cane-section eyes, and a pink tongue. His spade-ended tail is tucked undeneath the dish (see detail at top left)

A wonderful mid 19th Century Bohemian posy-vase in the form of a basket (shown roughly life-sized in the details at lower left & centre), possibly from the Harrach glassworks. The body is of uranium-glass (see detail at lower right for effect of UV light) over an opaque white interior, the exterior octagonally panel-cut, with gilt and floral-enamelled decoration (see details at lower left and centre)
The vase is generally in excellent condition, but there is wear to the gilding on the rim (see 'bird's-eye' view at lower top left), which could be restored for very little cost if required

A fine, early 19th Century carafe (shown very much smaller than life-sized, from various angles), with looped 'Nailsea' decoration, on an applied foot. The body of the glass contains two 'seeds' (specks of impurity - arrowed in red in the details), commonly found in 18th and early 19th century glassware, and a good sign of age

An elegant, glossy "Queen's Burmese" vase (shown much smaller than life-sized) by Thomas Webb & Sons
The vase is in good condition, but there are a couple of greyish 'smear' marks to the top of the foot (just visible in the details at lower centre and right) which must have occurred during manufacture. They are very superficial, and could easily be polished out by a competent restorer if required
| Our reference: | 8725 | Date: | c 1890 |
| Manufacturer: | Webb | Origin: | England |
| UK Price: | £ 175.00 | US guide price: | $ 280.00 |

A good example of the Loetz Rusticana decor (shown much smaller than life-sized at left) from the late 1890s. This particular shape was commissioned by the London importer and retailer Max Emanuel
The vase is in generally good condition, but has two small rim imperfections. The first (arrowed in the detail below, left) is a small area of roughness that was caused during manufacture, while the other (arrowed in the detail below, right) is a tiny chip that must have occurred later. Both are reflected in the asking price

A fine late19th Century vaseline-glass jug (shown very slightly smaller than life-sized at top, and under ultraviolet light at lower right) with spiral decoration. The applied handle is of clear glass, and the pontil is ground and polished (lower centre). The body is indented in four places, rather like some Powell pieces, but we think it is probably by Webb
