Antique Questions Forum / Tribal glass trade bead necklace??

« on: August 26, 2012, 09:52:02 am »

Another find from an old box in the cellar purchased at an auction. Looks to be in the style of the Naga Tribe , North Indian/Burmese boarder. In very early necklaces I know they used bone as the spacer bars, with brass balls & sometimes brass bells.  But I am at a loss as to date, value , origin of this very pretty piece. I am going to guess tourist market with the color of the beads but where & when??

Antique Questions Forum / Mount Washington Burmese glass vase???

« on: April 06, 2011, 03:42:40 pm »

Anyone have any books or literature on old Mount Washington Burmese glass shapes that can confirm this piece is by them??? Found this article and one piece looks similar to mine. It was all hand blown so each piece is diffrent but would you guys say this piece is by MT Washington or no way??   http://www.journalofantiques.com/apr05/featureapr05.htm  I know it is not Fenton they did not do  rigaree.  Could be Webb or  Murano Burmese. Can't find my black light to test. (Webb & Mt Washington glow  with black light, Murano Burmese does not.) Will test as soon as I get a black light. also found this one on ebay but we all know how reliable correct identification is with ebay.  http://cgi.ebay.com/Mt-Washington-Matte-Burmese-Art-Glass-Basket-/110668522511?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19c45ba40f  Mine is approx. 7 1/2" tall and 17 1/2" around the widest part of the vase.
Thanks
