A superb Lobmeyr 17th Century-style 'historismus' handled beer-mug (shown rather smaller than life-sized in the two photos at top) with applied trail below the rim, set on three hollow 'bun' feet. The mug is hand-decorated with schwarzlot enamelling in the appropriate style for the period, showing a panoramic scene with people. The base bears the Lobmeyr monogram in white enamel (see detail below)

And, from the same source, another similar Lobmeyr handled beer-mug (again, shown rather smaller than life-sized in the two photos at top). This mug, too, is hand-decorated with schwarzlot enamelling in late 17th Century style. The base also bears the Lobmeyr monogram in white enamel (see detail below) but, oddly, this one is in mirror-image, so that it has to be viewed through the bottom of the glass to be seen the right way up

A heavy, handsome mid 19th Century Bohemian goblet (shown rather smaller than life-sized in the top photo), cut in the traditional style. It has four amber-flashed cartouches, one left blank (so that the proud purchaser could have his name or coat of arms engraved on it). Two of the others are intaglio-engraved with stags, and the third, unusually, with a dog (see details above). The engraving is of exceptionally high quality

A small, but very pretty Moser jug (shown rather smaller than life-sized, from various angles), gilded all over and enamelled with flowers in Japanese style (see detail below)
Although the glass is in good condition, the background gilding has lost some of its original glossiness, and there are losses to the other gilding, hence the very low asking price for such a piece

A wonderful late 19th Century 'roemer' (shown much smaller than life-sized, from various angles) in olive-green glass, with applied roundels below the bowl and above the stepped foot, and raspberry prunts to the wrythen hollow stem. It is beautifully hand-enamelled with flowers and all kinds of insects to both bowl and stem. Good enough to be from either the Moser or Theresienthal glasssworks, but we can't be sure

A super little mid 19th Century cut uranium-glass scent-bottle (shown rather smaller than life-sized) in the form of a miniature decanter with two applied neck-rings, panel-cut around the shoulders and around the base. It fluoresces strongly under UV light (centre photo)
The glass is in generally good condition, with just one small shell chip to the bottom of one of the panels around the base. It does, however, have some interior water-staining around the shoulders. This could be removed by a professional restorer, and the offer price reflects the current condition of the bottle

A handsome English printy-cut Bristol blue-cased vase (shown much smaller than life-sized, from two angles) with rim and foot elaborately-cut in the Bohemian style, circa 1840s. Possibly by Richardsons
For a vase of this type and age, it is in excellent condition, with only two minor nibbles to the 'petals' of the foot-rim, and a small 'shell' chip under the foot. None of these are evident except under close examination

A white opaline spill-vase (shown much smaller than life-sized in the top photos, from three angles) with hand-enamelled and -gilded decoration against a terracotta ground, circa 1840s. It depicts a classical scene of a wife bringing her husband his helmet and shield - presumably so he can go and fight someone. It has to be said that he looks somewhat less than enthusiastic at the prospect! Very much in the style of known pieces by the Richardson factory, and possibly by them

A very-difficult-to-photograph, but extremely pretty, machine-threaded sweetmeat dish (shown much smaller than life-sized, from various angles), by Stevens & Williams, the body with pink swagging (upper right), on an applied clear foot. The applied uranium-glass rim fluoresces strongly under UV light (lower centre). The design is very reminiscent of pieces by Frederick Carder

An early 19th Century Bohemian wine-bottle (shown much smaller than life-sized, from three angles), the Bristol-green body with overall hand-enamelled and -gilded fruiting vines (see detail below).
The enamelling would originally have been white (we think), but has now darkened slightly to a pinkish colour. Apart from this, the bottle is in fine condition

A fine Georgian 'Prussian'-shaped decanter (shown very much smaller than life-sized) with cut bull's-eye stopper (lower centre) and three plain neck-rings (lower left). The body is panel-cut to the neck and shoulders, over a band of diamonds, over flutes, with prism-cutting between (lower right)

A Bristol-blue overlaid scent-bottle (shown about life-sized above, from two angles), cut with panels and printies. Probably by Richardsons, circa 1840s. In great condition, except for a small shell chip underneath the knop of the stopper (I couldn't get a good photo of it, but it is very minor)
