Through the looking glass: IS IT OR ISN'T IT A STUART CRYSTAL?????

WELCOME TO MY SITE
I have written this blog mainly through my interest of Stuart crystal. After being at home with my daughter I started to use my computer more often and I started selling my stuff on eBay which lead me to buying Stuart crystal from the art deco period with the Stratford rings. After searching the web for more information on this style I found there is not much information around. So I started to write this site which includes pictures of my collection and some of my other interests. As I collect more I will be adding other pictures as well (I'm sure other designs will creep in).

I have had several questions regarding the value of Stuart Crystal glasses, I'm sorry I am unable to give valuations as I am a private collector, and I do not have that knowlege. I have picked Stuart glasses up from as little as 20p up to a few pounds So they are worth whatever people are prepared to pay!

So I hope you enjoy reading my site, find some of my posts interesting and the pictures are a useful reference.

IS IT OR ISN'T IT A STUART CRYSTAL?????

Monday, October 1, 2007

I'd love to know If its a Stuart crystal, I found this (grapefruit dish,I think) in a little shop in a market hall.

The bowl is a lovely colour, luster pink (a little bit paler pink than the picture shows). It has the same rings around the base of the bowl as the Stuart 'Stratford rings' from around the art deco period. the foot is clear. It is god condition with the exception of two small nibbles on the rim (unfortunately, but I only paid 50p for it!). It stands approx 9cm tall by 10cm across the rim. Its not marked but if you look close up its not perfect. I know Stuart didn't mark anything if it was not a first in quality. It does have a lovely sound when pinged (I'm sure crystal).

So to sum up, do any you know if it is???

I would be grateful of any thing you can tell me???
