A Daum paperweight, in the form of a 1" thick rectangular slab, intaglio-moulded with the head of a horse, and engraved 'Daum, France' in one corner. The box (centre, above) is original, and we think the weight dates from about 1960. It is in generally good condition, with just one small scratch to the underside (arrowed in the detail at right, above), which would be easy to polish out if required

This is a truly amazing pot! When the lid is on, you can't tell it's made of glass, as it is entirely covered in gilt. Acid cut-back on both the body and the lid is a repeated design, which we have established is a 'tugra' or 'tughra', an artisitic calligraphic representation of an Arabic name. This 'tugra' is that of a Sultan of the Ottoman empire, Süleyman II (1642-1691). Below is a portrait of him, together with a more detailed version of his 'tugra':

Clearly, this pot is not that old (we are fairly sure it is post-War), and apparently 'tugras' are sometimes used entirely for decorative purposes, so it may not have been made to commemorate his reign in any way. We have now been advised (thanks, Linda!) that it was probably made by the Pasabahçe Glassworks in Turkey

A Davidson acid-matted Topaz cloud-glass 5" flower-bowl (their pattern number '1907 TD'), together with matching matt 2½" Topaz block (their pattern 'Round Block, Semi Dome, No. 8'). The block has raised 'MADE IN ENGLAND, GT.BRIT.PAT 382699' to the underside
Topaz is a later Davidson colour (they actually called it 'Briar'), introduced in 1957 and used into the early 1960s. Usually, one side of the piece was left shiny, and completely acid-matted pieces like this are rare

A pair of late 19th Century hexagonal press-moulded uranium-glass knife-rests, the ends ground flat and polished. Given what they are, and the way knife-rests are usually treated, they are in exceptionally good condition. Apart from some very minor nibbles, there is a shallow chip on the central section of one (arrowed in detail, second from right) and - on the same piece - an abraded triangular area on the finial (arrowed in detail at extreme right), which probably just represents carelessness in the finishing process, rather than later damage
| Our reference: | 8889 | Date: | late 19th C |
| Manufacturer: | unknown | Origin: | England |
| UK Price: | £ 45.00 | US guide price: | $ 72.00 |
| Dimensions: | length 9 cm, weight 170 gm (the pair) | ||
