A Compilation of Some Shelves

Picture and comments from David Chadwick-Brown

The compote is probably Stevens and Williams. (I don’t know why Carder could never make such a pleasant yellow jade!) Fan vase is Cairn Gorm.

Goblet is ACB, and with stem so sharp that no one could use them without drawing blood. Bob Rockwell said that the stem was a ‘proto-Intarsia,’ i.e., the plug, once covered with clear and blown out, would have been a finished piece. He imagined that these plugs were simply put to use in these glasses as stems.

On the right is an ‘Oriental grouping’ – poppy, jade, and lavender. Would love to know if Oriental lavender was ever made in anything else but covered, vanity items. jade, etc.

The metal collars in the candle holders seem to be original, but I have never seen them in others of this style
