post-War glass
An Archimede Seguso bird (shown somewhat smaller than life-sized at top) in pale amber glass, perched on a ribbed black 'branch' with applied leaves. On the underside of one leaf is a Seguso label (lower right, above). The label is undoubtedly genuine, and we believe it belongs to this piece, but we feel it may have been re-positioned, as there is evidence of old paste on its surface . Perhaps the label was originally in too prominent a position, and the purchaser wanted to keep it, but not where it could be seen?
An amusing Archimede Seguso owl (shown roughly life-sized at top left, and from various angles) in smoky bullicante glass with internal gold leaf, and with applied clear feet, beak and eyes. The vibro-pen signature 'Archimede Seguso, Murano' (shown above, centre right) dates from the early 1970s
Also by Archimede Seguso, a very cute pony (shown much smaller than life-sized from both sides, above) from his 1950s alabastro series It is generally in good condition, with just one small bruise on one side of the neck (see detail, below)
Probably also by Archimede Seguso, a bullicante cased pink fish (shown much smaller than life-sized from both sides, above), the applied fins and lips with gold-leaf inclusions, from about the 1940s
A cased black pulegoso vase (shown rather smaller than life-sized, from two angles) of rounded square section, designed by Severin Brørby for Hadeland, circa 1960, with engraved signature 'Hadeland, S.B.'
pressed glass
A heavy, 19th C pressed uranium-glass sugar bowl (shown much smaller than life-sized, from various angles) which fluoresces strongly under UV light (lower right, above). Typical of the products of Robinson & Bolton of Warrington, Lancashire, and possibly by them. We've seen the bowl before, but this is the first one we've seen complete with its original lid
A Davidson blue-cloud-glass vase (shown much smaller than life-sized, from two angles), shape 293
A pair of Chippendale pattern 375 candlesticks (shown much smaller than life-sized), either imported from the USA or produced later by the Davidson glassworks in England
A Davidson amethyst cloud-glass vase (shown much smaller than life-sized, from two angles) of nine-sided Art Deco form, with acid-matted interior
A Davidson amethyst cloud-glass plate (shown much smaller than life-sized, from both sides), the acid-matted underside with rib-moulding
