Kosta Boda miniature 'Satellite' bottle

                              master, Bertil Vallien and is one of the Artist Collection (limited production). It is

                              mere 160 grams. It is approximately 12 high by 6 cm wide by 3 cm deep and is in excellent
                              condition. These miniatures look very good with others from different ranges.
 Webb Corbett 1930s Optic glass Fish bowl
£220.00
A Webb Corbett Optic glass bowl from the 1930s with etched fish. Webb Corbett
                              - previously Thomas Webb and Corbett - worked in Stourbridge in the West Midlands and were
                              later taken over by Royal Doulton in 1969.This wonderful optic bowl has five different
                              fish etched on the sides, giving the impression of movement in water. It is stamped to the
                              base but this is now so worn that it is very hard to discern. I have tried to show where
                              the mark is but without much success. The bowl weighs 1036 grams and is approximately
                              17cms in diameter and 17 cm in height. There are one or two small scratches, the largest
                              of which is about 0.5 cm but this is to be expected of a piece of this age. These could be
                              polished out but they are not particularly visible and I really only noticed them when I
                              was photographing the piece. Otherwise the bowl is in excellent condition.
 
 Monart vase Shape FB
£195.00
An unusual Monart vase in Shape FB size VIII, with a pale green base rising

                              aventurine, to a soft pink full of tiny bubbles at the top.The vase is in excellent
                              condition with a few inclusions of specks of random colours which I have tried to show in
                              the photos.The vase weighs approximately 600 grams, is 18 cm in height and 15 cm in
                              diameter.

 A.V.E.M. vase
£48.00
A cylindrical vase, pinched at the rim, of thick red glass internally decorated with aventurine, zanfirico, and coloured canes and cased in clear glass, unsigned but most likely by A.V.E.M. (Arte Vetraria Muranese) in the 1950s. The vase is approximately 12 cm tall, by 9 cm wide and 7 cm deep and is in good, used condition. The last photo shows some roughness to the rim which luckily does not show because of the busyness of the design. Some imperfections present at the time of making can also be felt on the surface of the glass. This is reflected in the price. Still a gorgeous piece!

                              fortunately.It weighs 257 grams, is 5 cm in height and 10 cm in diameter at its widest

                              believed to be an early piece from the 1970s. It is a swirl of colours but the rich red
                              predominates. It is approximately 6.5 cm in height and 7 cm in diameter. The condition is
                              excellent.

 Italian Art Glass Lamp
£625.00
This is what we believe to be a lamp by Cenedese, although when we bought it
                              many years ago we were told it was by Seguso. The quality of the glass is superb and the
                              detail of the fish amazing. The colours glow even when it is not lit and the fish appears
                              alive in its red, seaweedy world. The metalwork is also excellent as one would expect on
                              an item of this calibre. There might be a signature under the green baize of the back
                              plate but we have not tried to investigate and maybe risk damaging it as it is so
                              obviously a piece of the finest quality. The lamp weighs approximately 2390 grams, is 18
                              cm in height, 20 in width and 10 cm in depth. The condition is excellent.

                              from one manufacturing bubble among the trees and a 2mm fleabite to the top rim which I
                              have only just spotted!

                              extremely thick and the huge dimples reflect the light. Anything more likely to bring that
                              period to mind is hard to imagine.The bowl is in excellent condition. It weighs a massive

                              although i have tried to get them as close to the original as possible. It all depends on
                              the light, the camera and the computer and not me, I hope! The closest is the one taken on
                              the windowsill.The vase weighs 1,727 grams, is approximately 25 cm in height and 15cm in

                              otherwise it is in excellent condition given its age.It weighs 326 grams and is 16.5 cm in
                              height, 9 cm across at its widest point and 4 cm deep.It is one of a small selection of
                              Czech malachite glass that I have for sale.
 
 Steuben 'Slinky Cat'
£95.00
This is the 'Slinky Cat' glass sculpture designed in 1960 by Donald Pollard for Steuben. Measuring 23 cm in height and approximately 8.5 cm in width, it is a beautifully minimalist image of a cat with slanting eyes and curled up tail. There are a couple of scratches to the lower body which I have tried - and failed - to show in the photos and the base shows some wear next to the signature. None of these detracts from the charm of this piece but are reflected in the low price. If you look elsewhere, you will see that this sculpture usually commands a significantly higher price.

                              and this edition was first brought out in 1964. It contains detailed illustrations of more
                              than 300 fine violins by 140 Italian master violin makers.The condition is very good; the

 Czech 1930s malachite glass Grape Harvest vase by Schlevogt
£75.00
This is what we believe to be a genuine 1930s Grape Harvest vase by
                              Schlevogt/Hoffmann, rather than one of the modern ones which are made using the original
                              moulds. It shows maidens dancing beneath the grapevines. The details are crisp, there are
                              signs of wear on the base and the edges of the base are bevelled. There are nice
                              distinctions between the soft matt green and the deeper shiny greens of the raised
                              areas.The vase weighs 331 grams, is 12.75 cm in height and 7 cm in diameter. All
                              measurements are approximate.It is in excellent condition and is one of a small collection
                              of malachite glass that we have for sale.

                              surrounding a smooth malachite top. The original glass dropper is intact and you can still

 French Art Deco vase signed JEM

An Art Deco vase signed JEM which is thought to be one of the signatures used
                              by the French firm Legras. It shows a flight of swallows (?) above a lake in muted
                              colours.The vase is in excellent condition, only having one faint round inclusion below
                              the wing of the main bird. It weighs 490 grams, is 23.5 cm in height and tapers from about

 Heavy glass vase with shell pattern
£75.00
A statement piece! This is a heavy vase in a vibrant blue with a pattern of
                              shells or leaves. To me, the colour is more turquoise than in the main picture but the
                              close up in the sixth photo, and that in the last, give a better idea. It weighs almost 3
                              kilos, stands 23 cm high and 10 cm deep. There are inclusions within the glass- little
                              bubbles and the like- but otherwise is in excellent condition.

                              example of their work, both in colour and style - which is very much of the period. The
                              opaque, marbled body is decorated with a frieze of stylised flowers and signed to the
                              side.It weighs 1214 grams, is approximately 16 cm in height and 13 cm in diameter and is

                              of mauves, green and gold. It is fully signed and numbered, stands just over 21 cm tall
