Dartington Glass

You are welcome  

an uncommon decoration too

Hi

Can't say I like it but can anyone read the signature? The last part is C (copyright) 344 and there is an initial at the front of L or F.

Cheers

A paperweight, sometimes called Crystal Sculptures, designed by Alfred Capredoni for Dartington Crystal Glass

Awesome thanks Lindylou

Hi

I dropped the ball on this one and thought it was a Kaj Franck piece but it's not. Approx 8.2 inches high with a 1.25 inch wide ground out pontil on base.

It is missing it's stopper and quite a rare thing I imagine, first I remember seeing anyway.

It is from Dartington Glass, pattern number FT4. Designed by Frank Thrower in 1967 and as I understand it not made after 1971. Made in clear, kingfisher and like yours midnight.

Nice.

All info from Dartington Glass, the First Twenty Years by Linda and Stuart Smithson.

No way, Dartington you say.... That's a great ID JoFish, many thanks for that.   

The seller advertised it as Riihimäen Lasi but I couldn't find similar example anywhere. 23 cm tall and quite well made, moulded piece.

Dartington. One of the Intimates designs, several sizes shapes and colours were produced.

Thank you John.
According to VA Museum website, it was designed by Belinda Hornsey in 1997 and produced between 1999 and 2000.

Hi guys, I found this chunky textured glass pin dish the other day,
has it's original Dartington lable, I'm guessing at Frank Thower but I can't find any record of this design.
Anyone see this before, measures about 5" x 3", Thanks, Paul

It's an FT142 ashtray called "A chip of the old block" and made c 1971/72. Not a pin dish LOL

Hi

Hollow glass handle, no marks or labels and only a small flat cut base. Any ideas of the maker?

It's a Dartington 'Tilt' Carafe

I found this in one of my local charity shops, over the moon!! Green volterra floor vase.
Anybody else have anything from this series?

Hi

Thought they may have been Dartington but also a Per Lutken shade of smoked glass.

Kaj Frank also used that colour.

Look to be Dartington Frank Thrower after all - FT55/1 In Midnight, also come in clear

Here is a pair of large wine glasses they measure 6" TALL X 3.5" WIDE they have a few unusual attributes the large knop in the stem also there is a raised bulge inside the glasses in the bottom the seems to have been very well finished no sign of a pontil scar some wear to one of them but imagine quite new?
I have been thinking Holmegaard but could not find them on some of my research sites hopefully an expert may have seen these before.
Thank you for looking at them.

I have managed to id these glasses myself which is rare for me but they appear to be Early dartington Knightsbridge suite either claret/goblets FT32/3 OR 4 Hope you agree very stylish and distinct i guess designed by Frank Thrower as they came out in the second year of production and only were produced from 1968-1970. As you can tell i have received my new book in the post dartington glass by the Smithsons and page 24 and already found a piece i was having trouble to id i guess books are worth every penny.

Nice finds, very hard to get these.

Thank you RVsaid They were £1 from a second-hand shop

Rediscovered in my loft is this two boxed pairs of handmade Dartington Irish Coffee glasses designed by Frank Thrower, mid 1970s and possibly promotional items for Bushmills Irish whiskey. Production/design code FT83.
I've included a shot of the back of one of the boxes to include the recipe just in case anybody fancies a wee snifter. You'll have to provide your own ingredients though. Sorry about that  

Hi All

I have here a Riihimaki Style Clear Glass Vase but I have been unable to identify.

Any help gratefully received.

TIA
