Title: Description for cut glass pattern? I'm drawing a blank....
Post by: Oceans64 on November 29, 2010, 10:14:39 AM: This is another piece of glass from an estate sale that MIL gave hubby. He wants me to sell it so I am looking for some descriptive words. MIL thought it was German - hubby said he saw similar in Belgium. It looks like mosaic tiles applied to glass but obviously it's not. Just cut glass. Has 2 mismatched plates which I may sell separately.

How would you describe? Checkerboard seems rather pedestrian... LOL
Do you think it looks German?
Candy Jar or Cookie Jar?
Start Price?

Jar measures 9.25"H with lid, 4.25 without, about 6.25"D at the bowl's widest point.
Plates measure 1-1/2" H (they have a curved lip), 5-5/8D
The glass itself is 1/8" thick on all pieces.

Don't spend a lot of time. I'm just looking for descriptions. I can't even think of any words to google to see something similar nor have I found on Replacements. Thanks!!

P.S. Wayward... Not sure if the topic belonged here or eBay forum. Please move if in wrong place.

There's generally 3 types , depending on kiln temps : slumped , tack fused & full fused .

Hubby wants to research more but I think we'll be lucky to get $40 for the lot.

Post by: ironlord1963 on November 29, 2010, 06:22:37 PM: Oh I think you can get more then $40.00 for the lot. The lady would love these I'm sure. I looked a while back at Colbalt blue Cut crystal on Ebay and some of these pieces get a pretty penny for sure. Couple makers really known for this kind of work is of course Waterford and AJKA, some others too.

Post by: Oceans64 on November 29, 2010, 06:39:31 PM: We'll see - I'll let you know when I list. I'm betting these won't go in 7-14 days and that about all my interest in selling them will last...
