Black glass piece - Royal Brierley Studio

by fianelly February 18th 2012, 8:10 am

Hi - I have bought this piece. Looks good quality, and the wear on the base gives me some hope it's not brand-spanking new. Over on one of the Aussie boards, someone has pointed out it is similar to the Loetz Mimosa pattern, but while the shape is similar, it's not the same as the examples shown, and this glass is very very dark... I'd call it black... so I doubt it's what they would classify as blue.

Any thoughts??

Thanks

Thanks very much. Royal Brierley didn't enter into consideration (didn't know it existed I'm afraid!), but I do now and very interesting too...

No signature on this piece, no matter how hard I look, but apparently that's not unusual.

Thanks again - learnt heaps today Happy

Thank you for your help.

Its Royal Brierley Studio Ware, I think I can just make out the etched mark on the base.

Dear Davee Thank you for your help on these its much appreciated.
I have looked it up and it appears to be designed by MICHAEL & TIM HARRIS for Royal Brierley

Yes Michael Harris was brought in to design this range that alluded to Studio Glass but was really mass produced at the factory

10 inches high, cranberry base, cut and polished rim.
My first thought was Brierley, or IOW, but no marks at all.

Definitely Royal Brierley Studio Range

Great, thanks Davee, If it was Brierley I thought you might know!
Wonder why it's not marked? I'ts such a nice piece.

Now I've washed it, I see there are a couple of flaws in the glass so
maybe it's a second, and that's why it may not be marked.

I think it was a bit hit and miss as to wether they are marked or not. They have an acid etched mark which sometimes can be incredibly hard to spot, you have to hold it in the right light at the right angle.
