Kosta Boda miniature 'Satellite' bottle

This Kosta Boda miniature 'Satellite' bottle was designed by the Swedish
                              master, Bertil Vallien and is one of the Artist Collection (limited production). It is
                              signed and numbered. This is the smallest of the range of 'Satellite' bottles and weighs a
                              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.

                              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.

This Murano sommerso figure of a Chinaman is triple cased with layers of pink,
                              red and purple beneath its clear outer casing. It follows the style of the figures made by
                              Seguso in the mid 20th Century. The layers are clearly defined and the colours striking.
                              The statuette is in ecellent condition with one scratch to the base which can be seen in
                              the eighth photo.

A tall iridescent vase from The Unique Collection by John Ditchfield,
                              Glasform, signed and labelled. The oily iridescence of this vase makes the colours change
                              with the light and the photos don't really do it justice.It weighs 950 grams, is 24.75 cm
                              tall with a diameter of 9 cm. All measurements are approximate.

                              diameter. It is stamped R.LALIQUE, FRANCE to the underside.The box is in excellent

                              point.This is one of a small selection of malachite glass we have for sale.
 
 Isle of Wight Azurene Lollipop vase

                              was used is highlighted by the purple iridescence. There is the Isle of Wight sticker to
                              the base.The vase weighs 1073 grams and is approximately 22 cm high, 17 cm wide and 6cm

                              predominates. It is approximately 6.5 cm in height and 7 cm in diameter. The condition is
                              excellent.

                              great studio designers and makers of recent time. This is one of his quirky but elegant

 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.

                              running right round the vase. It is signed and numbered to the baseIt weighs 979 grams and

                              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
                              1700 grams which is a lot for a bowl only 8 cm high and approximately 13 cm across.

                              The last two photos show inclusions in the glass which show as small dots in the bigger
                              photos.Please be aware that the colours do not always show up accurately in the photos
                              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
