Hi,
In Miller's "glass antiques checklist" there's a jug and glass made for the great exhibition 1851 by Osler of Birmingham with their own version of the bulrush pattern. Pictures are small but they look quality items. Seems a lot of companies made similar wares.
Cheers for that. I’m not home at the moment, but I have the catalogue of the 1851 exhibition so I will check it out later.
Hi. I think you’re the man to ask. Can Victorian cranberry/Ruby glass items have a rough pontil? If the pontil is rough, then surely it going to date at least pre 1850?
I think the answer is yes. In the Stourbridge region where most of the big UK glass manufacturers were based, people were literally making cranberry glass in their sheds in their gardens. I think this explains some of the quality variations I’ve seen when you hold it up to the light. If you’re making it in your garden, coloured glass must be the way to go to hide any quality issues. I’m from Northampton, which in a way was similar to Stourbridge but the local skill was shoemaking. My previous house deeds didn’t allow business apart from it allowed me to have any leather manufacturing business on the premises. My sisters garden has a brick shed with a big window that was probably good for a couple cobblers, but some houses have two storey brick sheds like small factories. I know one house that was still making custom shoes in a big garden shed for disabled people until at least quite recently. Ummm. That’s probably too much information.
@@lovedecanters7891 very much appreciate. Thank you. I knew you’d be the man to ask lol
@@lovedecanters7891 is there any way of contacting you? I would like to send you pictures of what it is in question. It’s for sure not a home made piece. It’s a carafe/decanter. Far too much detail and embossed paintwork etc. also has the original gilt brass holder and droplets. Sorry if you’ve no interest lol. I actually think you might like to see it.
@@JLP5941 hi, yes, you can email me at kevinbarron@me.com. I’m not at home at the moment so I don’t have all my references available. If I can respond without them I will.
@@JLP5941 lol, I just remembered there was also an exception in the leather manufacturing in my old deeds, I couldn’t tan leather. That’s because it smells terrible.
