Glass Study Group - September 11, 2003
The
Glass Study Group met in September with a topic of perfume bottles as our focus.
We learned we did not all own perfume bottles. Other glass beyond the focus topic
is always welcome. This month we were very diverse in our glass for discussion.
In the image shown you will find a Rich Cut or "brilliant" basket circa
1890, a Vaseline daisy and button perfume without the stopper by Fenton, a small
irridized blown perfume of lampwork origins, a blue opalescent hobnail Fenton
perfume, a Pluto water bottle circa 1920's found in a members yard, a large heavily
seeded (bubbles) amber vase of unknown origins, a cut, marked and sterling perfume
from Hawkes, a new Martinsville Glass amethyst perfume with stopper, a ruby oversized
candlestick showing much evidence of hand crafting and probably Italian, two of
the lamp worked perfumes from India with wonderful detail and a cranberry Victorian
bowl on a plated based which evoked considerable discussion as to the appropriateness
of the match.
