Here are my few bits of Vasart - one with full label - most etched Vasart to base



The acid etched mark to bases

Nice pieces Adam, but yet again you have managed to get them in the wrong Thread! This is for Labels Signature and Backstamps, I will move them into the Correct area later for you.

Although I will leave your label and backstamp pics here

Top Hats by Vasart

This is the first type of label used by Vasart (1946)

5 bottle stoppers with Vasart (and possibly Strathearn, depending on date) millefiori glass ends. Bar sets with these millefiori ends were retailed by Lassman & Co, London; supplied by George Dunlop, Pirelli Glass.

I've always wondered how to tell the difference between Vasart and Strathearn paperweights, since they are essentially the same company and same workers. This explanation is from a keen collector of their work, based on which I'd say a couple of these knobs looks like Strathearn ones -

The difference is that Vasart did not have the glory hole (also called a Reheating Furnace) to rework the canes down to the level of the ground. So, Vasart canes often stand proud - stand above the level of the ground. Strathearn was a later iteration of the same company with fresh money added by Teachers Whiskey and they had new furnaces with glory holes to reheat the work.
