A handsome bronze-iridescent vase (shown much smaller than life-sized, from various angles), hand-enamelled with a flower that we think may be a variety of Hyacinth (any keen gardeners out there who can confirm that?). Probably by Poschinger, circa 1890s

A pair of Stourbridge 'brocade'-type vaseline-glass epergnes (shown much smaller than life-sized) in original EPNS stands. The patterning resembles a spider-web (see detail at lower left), and the glass fluoresces under UV as might be expected (detail at lower right)

An extremely pretty satin rose-bowl (shown about life-sized at top, and from various angles) in shaded yellow glass over a white interior, with heavily gilded Japanese-style floral decoration.
In the past, this would have been attributed without a doubt to the Thomas Webb factory, with gilt decoration by the Jules Barbe studio. However, the gilded butterfly on the rear (see detail, lower right) has been claimed to be a distinguishing mark of the Harrach glassworks in Bohemia. Whoever made it, there is no doubt that it is a superb piece

By the same manufacturer, a superb pair of 'peach-blow'-type vases (shown much smaller than life-sized at top), circa 1880s. One (shown from both sides in the two thumbnails above, left) is in excellent condition apart from some wear to the gilding on the handles. The other (shown from both sides in the two thumbnails above, right) has a chip on each side of the foot (shown in the details below). As the glass is opaque, however, these could easily be restored, and after gilding, would barely be visible. Despite that, the offer price is effectively for one vase, with the other thrown in for free

A superb 'fish' vase (shown much smaller than life-sized, from various angles), the body of pale green glass, optic-ribbed to give the feel of water, with two applied and hand-enamelled pale-blue glass fish (see details below), amongst enamelled water-plants. Made by either Moser or Harrach, depending upon your point of view!
