Animals in Glass, Lion, Milk glass, Milkglass

I have seen this piece online in the past.  It has been identified as Westmoreland, but I do no know if this is true.  If someone else does that would be great.  It is not signed, but has the number ‘3’ in the bottom of the base.

I only have the reference – Westoreland Glass 1950-1984 by Lorraine Kovar.  This piece is not represented.  No surprise as I think it was made earlier.

In any event it is a neat piece.  I like the cheeky expression on the lion’s face.  The paint is worn off but it obviously was decorated with dark brown or green in the past.

IMG_4749This is a pretty neat milk glass piece to live in the home of a couple of Leos!  I have not found this in a book, but have seen it identified online as an early 20th century piece of Westmoreland.

My piece is not signed, but has a number “3” in the basket.

It is quite white.  I find it hard to take photos of milk glass, so had to have it ‘shadowed’.  It was obviously painted, but most of the paint is gone.

I love the sly smile.  Do you think real lions lounge around with this expression???????

Westmoreland LionLookie, lookie, lookie.  Isn’t this spectacular?  Two Leos live in this household, so we appreciate the majestic lion.

I’ve recently bought a pair of Westmoreland lovebirds on a nest and have been trolling through Westmoreland (or alleged Westmoreland) pieces online.

During a recent trip to Cobourg I saw this pretty piece.  The store owner thinks that it is a reproduction.  There are strange scuff marks on the bottom, as if someone tried to erase ID marks.  Nonetheless I had to have it anyway as the colour is so pretty.

I want to determine its provenance, so nothing would do but to order a Westmoreland reference book! Westmoreland Lion (2) I use Abebooks to buy my used books.  My experience is that this site provides very reasonably priced books.

Anyway, in a couple of weeks I might know something more definite.  I will update if I find anything out.
