Unidentified Vase with Birds (with an update)

Birds, Vase

News Flash – a knowledgeable Elegant and Everyday Glass Forum participant gave me the following information – “Its a well known Czech vase often found with a fake R. Lalique signature. Its called the Doves vase & comes in two styles, the one you have & one thats similar to the small Tiffin Poppy vase.”

I’ve been looking for more information, so far to no avail.  It’s great that I didn’t pay a great deal of money for this.  It’s pretty and I will still enjoy using it.  Wouldn’t it have been fab to have found a Lalique though????

Yesterday morning I was looking at a photo of the most beautiful covered jar called Hummingbird with Roses by Consolidated Lamp & Glass

Company.  Later in the day we went out to Orono as the shops were holding an Antique and Art festival.  Too bad it rained!  Nonetheless we wandered about and I came across this beautiful vase in the style of the jar.

The price tag was marked Tiffin and there were no markings on the vase.  I bought it knowing that it was an “unknown” as it is very beautiful and different.

I have posted it on the Elegant and Everyday Glass Forum and asked for “Help!”  A responder said that it is not Consolidated, Phoenix or Gillinder.  He thinks it may be European.  I will continue to look as it is very interesting.  But as always…if anyone knows, please share.

New Martinsville Florentine #29, Teardrop Blank

I picked this up in the U.S. on a recent driving trip.  Didn’t recognize it, but it was only $5.50 so I thought I’d bring it home to identify.

So far the closest I have come was to identify it as New Martinsville Florentine #29, Teardrop Blank, made in the 1940-1944 range.

But I’m not entirely confident in this ID.  Although etches vary depending upon the piece that is made, this one seems close….but no cigar.  Photos I’ve seen of the etch show a dangling bunch of grapes.

I don’t have any books on New Martinsville (yet) so I have no targeted reference text.  For the meantime, I’m going to “believe” that my ID is correct, but I’ll keep looking!

Unidentified Etched Sherbert

We took a trip to Kingston this weekend.  On the  way up we took the beautiful lakeshore Loyalist Parkway Route.  On the way back we came along Hwy #2.  Of course we made several stops along the way.  I picked up three of these sherberts in a little shop in Deseronto.

I know I have seen this etch before.  But I’ve gone through a few books and just can’t find it anywhere.

I’ve posted it on the Elegant and Everyday Glass Forum.  We’ll see if anyone there is more astute than I.  I don’t think this is an uncommon etch, and I’m sure someone will know it.

I’ve got some new items coming – yippie.  Looking forward to seeing two Heisey stems with the Empress etch.
