DEPRESSION GLASS what is it?

10/9/2023

0 Comments

 
Pictured are examples of  American made Depression Glass.
Picture
What exactly is Depression Glass?
I have gone to the Website of the National Depression Glass Association for their Definition for what Depression Glass is and I quote it word for word.
                         "National Depression Glass Association                                  "Preserving America's Glass Manufacturing Heritage"
                                The NDGA was ​Founded in 1974

"Definition"
Although the “Depression”​ years extended from late 1929 up to the start of World War II, the term Depression Glass refers to American - transparent glassware that was manufactured from the early to mid- 1920’s, through and around the end of
World War II.

Much of that time was considered the ​​“Great Depression”, but the glassmaking period extended out on both sides of the “Great Depression”
I have noticed that the Pressed Glass that was manufactured in Countries such as Australia, Czechoslovakia, England, France and Germany in and around the Great Depression is being associated with the name Depression Glass. 


With the National Depression Glass Association's definition in mind the name​ Depression Glass specifically refers ​only to American - transparent glassware that was manufactured in and around the time of the Great Depression.

STATUE AND BLOCK a very rare find.

7/6/2023

0 Comments

 
 STATUE AND BLOCK was made by JAMES A JOBLING AND CO LTD  in Sunderland England.
​
Picture
It is 11 inches(27.9cm) high in two pieces.
Entwined in her long hair that flows down her back are roses.

This White coloured Statue and Block is the only one that I ever seen  in all my years as a collector.
I believe it to be Very Rare if not Extremely Rare​ at this point in time due to its colour.
​They are
 mostly seen in amber, green, blue and pink in a clear and frosted finish also seen in green jade.
When and Where I found this  amazing Statue and Block.
​In 2005 whilst visiting the Tyabb Packing Shed Antique Centre on the Mornington Peninsular in the State of Victoria Australia I came across this Statue and Block seated in a bowl as pictured below. 
Picture
​I immediately recognised that they were a marriage, which is where items of different makers have been placed together. 
​I still went ahead and purchased them, as I knew the Statue and Block was made by James A Jobling. 

The bowl was made by the Hermanova Hut Glassworks in Czechoslovakia.
It is the bowl #19678 pictured below on page 19 of their 1958 glass catalogue.
Picture
 
As a point of interest I have added the pictures below to illustrate that Jobling produced two variations of the Statue. 
​The Statue on the left has long hair with roses entwined down to her feet. 
Where as the Statue on the right  has been modified by the removal of the roses to produce a smooth fall of hair down to her feet.
Picture


​Three years passed before I eventually found and purchased on eBay  a White FIR CONE pattern bowl pictured below that was made by James A Jobling.
The seller had it listed as Made in France.

Note the Flamingo's figural flower frog #11815, the front Flamingo's has its head upside down by its feet.
Flamingos can only feed with their  head in this position. 


I would like to acknowledge the collector from WALES in the UK who alerted me to this catalogue page.

Seen in green in a clear finish.
Likely to have been made in crystal, amber, blue and pink.

A bowl in a clear finish is likely to have been produced  to accompany this figural stand.
Should you have a complete Kneeling Lady bowl set in a clear finish  or know of others please contact me.

​Pictured below is a page from a Josef Inwald a Czechoslovakian Company 1940 glass catalogue.

Note the bowl #11936 and under plate #11971 which have a interlocking ring pattern that is similar in design to that as seen on the bowl of the Kneeling Lady bowl set.

It is possible that one of the glass works owned by Josef Inwald may have produced the Kneeling lady bowl set.

Should you know of a catalogue or other documentation that can confirm the Maker  and Country of Origin of the Kneeling Lady bowl set please let me know.
