Antique Irish Glass - Shamrock or Not Stopper
This video is to correct a short video where I said a the shape of a stopper from an Irish decanter resembled a shamrock when it really resembles a four leaf clover. This is important because it's Irish glass and I am interested in the symbolism the stopper represents.
The book I use in this video is:

Very informative Kevin, thank you!
THANKS KEV
Do you have any tips for cleaning sick glass? Or is it just mechanical buffing that works
❤❤❤
Legend! Love this
It’s truly Mesmerising to myself to hold a piece of glass THATS possibly 230 + years old. My Home 🇦🇺 Was just becoming aware to the Western world of her existence. Tho 70,000 years + of Civilisation flourished on this ancient land…But is very special in ,y view to ponder about who used that Cordial glass, its history is cool to me..👍👍
Did you catch mallams sale of glass last week ....significant private collection of period glass ....and very reassuring prices achieved !
@@gilchristantiques7464 I stay away from proper auctions because the temptation is too great.
It probably only saves a couple drips of the wine, but it saves you from those drips becoming sticky rings on your table. I wish this was a common feature in modern jugs, I always have to dab the jug spout with a napkin to keep that from happening with normal jugs
@@JessUA-camAccount but every last drop must be saved. You’re right it’s to save the table cloth.
I’d love to find a glass like that! Where do I look?
I imagine cream would make the engraving stand out with so much clarity!
I enjoy using my decanters. It's great at Christmas to have a few different spirits lined up to choose from. Your drying technique is exactly the same as mine too. I came to it from trial and error and it's definitely the most effective approach I've found.
Years of practice and perfection, and we have parallel evolution.
I’d have thought spirits were less likely to leach the lead from the glass , as their generally less acid than wines, that’s just my opinion , do you have more advice on this, as I do use mine for whiskey, but like you I’m an occasional drinker , so it’s in the decanter for a long period
I see so much stuff about lead leaching out, but also that it's not a problem. I can't imagine it's a massive problem, because my decanters haven't dissolved after a couple of hundred years. I don't know conclusively, so am not comfortable making a recommendation.
@@lovedecanters7891ok love the videos, my wife and I get most of our glass from auctions, it’s unbelievable how cheap some of it is I did a bit of browsing and the consensus seems with you on the lead
This is a magnificent video! Many thanks!
Those Polish bowls have been argued about in glass groups in the past with some people insisting they were Czech so to find a set with its original label is great.
I can answer your mystery pressed glass bowl at 1.30. It's Walther glass. For the Murano bowl at 9 minutes, have you looked in the Jordan Imports (JICo) catalogues? I think you might find it in those. Several factories are believed to have made glass to JICo’s own designs including Cristallo Venezia CCC
Like the early imported Inwald Jacobean glassware feels far ‘sharper’ quality than the later British stuff
Really like this one. Never seen it before.
Lovely glass. Great video thanks
A little sweetie, nice find.
Very simple and elegant...soothing color
Beautiful
Very pretty
Beautifully constructed
I have several pieces of Czech glass. For the most part they all have similarities but i struggle trying to find out information on when or where theses pieces are made. Is this just how it is or are there separate companies
Hello, I have a glass decanter with a green swirl finial and a green base. Can’t find any info on this beauty. Perfect condition. Any help? Thanks.
@@jamesmiller2332 please feel free to email me a picture. Kevinbarron@me.com
Hello, I have a glass decanter with a green swirl finial and a green base. Can’t find any info on this beauty. Perfect condition. Any help? Thanks. Love to send you a picture.
Hello, here is this nice decanter I found in a thrift shop in Fairview park Ohio, u s a. No makers mark but the finial and decanter both have the numbers 27 on each.
It looks like it's made from ice. Imagine you did have a candelabra made of ice and it just melts and sets the table on fire.. or would it be too wet to light it on fire..... Thick enough Ice which melts at the same rate the candle burns, at the end of it there's just a puddle and nothing else.
lol, I think to you are thinking too much.
@@lovedecanters7891 Yeah you're right hahahha
It could be also for beer or bwhisky or for Brian.
I couldn't get it to come out in the film, but there is a ghost of the word Brandy on the decanter. This type of decanter came in sets on a stand, and normally labelled Brandy, Hollands, and Rum. Very occasionally one might be Whiskey.
Couple of other contenders for the gilt jug around 12 minutes are Borske Sklo and Borocrystal. Adverts for these type of drinks sets can be found for both these companies in 1960s Czech Glasrevue magazines showing a wide range of shapes. Chlum u Trebone are another factory who produced gilt wares but I think they're a less likely source. Some of these also came from Romania but I think this was a Borocrystal example based on the shape of the tumblers
Very. Nice.
Nice to aee such beautiful things in use!
So what
I jut put this up as an encouragement for people to use their glass collections, however, I will do a proper short for this so that when I put it on my website, it can be an additional look at it.
We have a decanter at home. My mum says we can't use it because it's expensive and meant as a decoration 🥲
The thing about using it is that you need to clean it afterwards, but essentially make it is completely dry inside before putting the stopper back on. I think I might do a video on this subject.
That’s allowed
It’s very alllowed.
I have with spots!
@@KAR-aandle with spots is pre-war. Prewar catalogues have spots and postwar don’t.
If you take it to a Masonic Temple the people there would love to see it and could tell you more about the marks. You might be lucky enough to get a tour of their hall as well.
I know my local Masons sold their temple a few years ago, and I just tried to figure out where they went, and the answer is: I don't know where they went.
Is there any learning can be done as to how many parts a glass has been made from. What to look out for? How do you know not all one?
@@KAR-aandle hmmm… I think there’s going to be a video on.
I wish I had just half your knowledge mate. I’m sending those links shortly if you remember.? I must apologise as I thought 💭 who shit I hope something may intriguing catches your quality GUAZE . 👍👍 hahaha it’s real lonely at the bottom of the barrel so to speak 😂😂. Nah just having a laugh at myself.. I certainly agree a good whiskey, whisky ?? Scotch…100% use those decanters….. The taste and quality of any of the later a real treat. 🇦🇺🇦🇺👍👍
I have several with that top ( Pillar) cut ? You said ? Yes very similar, my problem often is makers marks particularly pre 1890. Some old pieces one may have so many unique identifying marks were used. But it’s awesome learning about a piece one may have. Even if it’s a flop. It’s something you have learnt and a story about the manufacturer. I have a wrist band or bracelet . It’s ( apparently) ?? Roman glass , there is 15 pieces each surrounded in 18kt ( Green) Gold. The glass are from broken items made of glass 2’500 years in the past. But apparently it’s real and they were made in Victorian times and previous by adventurers of many in history to ruins of an ancient cities. So fascinating Civilisations coming and going..??. Cool cheers as always.👍👍🇦🇺
"Got killed by the war", happy new year Kev.
@@mickfromaustralia902 I need to think on that, it’s not a very elegant way of putting it.
Very elegant
I bet you it was part of a set of six glasses with the decanter??

You’ll know Queensberry Hunt - David Queensberry (Webb Corbett) & Martin Hunt (Hornsea, Concept) are why I know the name. Still funky today too! (… and doing designs with John Lewis)
The Baccarat jar was on the table in your French market video. For some strange reason it popped up in my feed!
Good Morning, I recently got some glasses from my grandparents and I am really curious where they are from. Some glasses have a small “S” with a crown on top on them. I can’t copy any pictures in this comment, but maybe you know more about it :)
@@TimFuster hi, you can always email me pictures when you have them.
NICE JOB AGAIN some thing to learn every day thanks from TASMANIA
Feels nice in the hand....what date do u think
@@helenavondrakenstein4969 it could be anywhere from 1850-1920, but less likely at the extremes of those dates.
Interesting I love all your vids
Gorgeous
Gwt well soon! Some evil coldy things out there!
