the_stig 6,614 Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Just has a little shock, Sunday morning I was haveing the last walk around the local booty, when I spotted a large glass jug that had the emblems of Smirinoff, Pimms etc on it, so picked it up and it was a cocktail jug with measures and different recipies and the quantities etched in to the jug. We have a barby coming up so I though why not a £1 is nothing really. When I got home everyone liked the jug, So today I had a search to see what it it was worth. turns out there was one sold last week for £25 so Out comes the camera and up goes the BIN £25 sold in 21 minutes. You just never know what will sell. TC you`ll never see another one again Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tiercel 6,986 Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 (edited) i've got 2 large boxes of glass vase's and decanters, i dont want to take them to a booty incase they are worth a wee bit but i dont know how to tell whats what lol but i need to move them. some are a good age Crystal or pressed glass? If they are chippendale pressed glass the smaller pieces are a couple of quid and the larger pieces are a bit more. You seem to know how to do completed listings on ebay do some homework. Some of the designer glass esspecially the Scandernavian stuff fetches tidy money. Murano is a waste of time. TC Edited August 6, 2013 by tiercel 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

the_stig 6,614 Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Stig, your knowledge and eye is far in excess of mine. TC it don't look much -- but its marked up it would be dated around 1900-1910 -- ganes stopped trading after the war and its a1 condition got everything going for it .. if your looking at furniture look for a name pop out the seat pad on chairs its mainly on the back rail on tables its underneath ---any water colour or oil painting that's cheap and signed give it a go Quote Link to post Share on other sites
