[QUOTE="Bygonen, post: 2305320, member: 11636"]Hi, I'll admit to being a newbie here, to the world of glass that is. I do have a fondness of antiques and a collection of them however. I've been studying the field for a good few years now. I recently purchased this piece. I found it to be rather charming but I was wondering if anyone else could help me with identifying it. It's about 10cm tall. The silver base adds about 3 cm. It seems to be hand blown and the décor is a mixture of painted and etched on (apologies for how unclear that will look in the pictures). It shows different plants and birds. At some point, the stem has been broken. Only a small piece is still visible underneath. Unfortunately, the gluing job was a bit haphazard which has left that sort of cement stuff underneath and around the rim. I'm fairly sure that the base is silver, having cleaned it. There's also an "A&D" mark under one of the legs. And that's all I know... I'm hoping that someone here might be able to shed some more light on this piece. Please forgive the poor quality photos. I can get better ones tomorrow.
