These were photographed yesterday for posting today. This is not a décor I know but thought they must be Welz. Imagine my surprise this morning to find this same shape posted by Welzebub.....in another décor I'd not seen before.
The vase/pot is not a shape I've seen before either.....it may possibly have had a lid originally, but probably not a frog. I do like the yellow interiors.
The glass seems to be oxblood and white spatter between yellow and a clear outer casing. The red is oxblood in reality rather than the lighter shade you see here.

Peggy,i love your collection!So many beautiful glass...It seems to be like the wishing table :-)
Ivonne, thank you, I'm not sure what a wishing table is but I think I would like it!
There's an awful lot of 'cottage glass', as welzebub calls it, floating around England. It's just waiting for me to give it a good home :)
Lovely Pair! Love the yellow interior too!!
Lucky you!
A wishing table is an object from a fairy tale by Grimm brothers about a tailor his three sons and a goat - a liar.A very long tale and a table is a reward for the youngest son.
Thank you, Justanovice, a coloured inner makes it better somehow...like having a pretty lining in your jacket:)
How times change Ivonne, I was given a book of fairy tales by Grimm when I was about eight....it wouldn't happen now. Obviously I didn't remember that one though. And yes when it comes to Welz cottage glass the UK is a good place to be....lucky as you say.
Always amazed Peggy at your finds. So GB was to Welz what Aus was to Japan....a good market!
Yes, Racer, for victorian 'cottage' glass. However I find hardly any Art Deco Welz here. I suspect that the economic effects of WWI on buying glass, a luxury after all, may be why the Czechs concentrated their efforts more on the American market later on. Only surmising!
Nice examples. I agree that the one example likely had a lid.
Here is an image of a grouping of examples. In the grouping the tall piece at the back, and the trophy vase to the right side, are both lined with a red brick colored glass. The rest of the pieces have the Cadmium interior like your examples. If you use a black light, you will find that the yellow interior glows orange, which is as a result of the use of Cadmium in the process of making the yellow color. This Cadmium lined Oxblood spatter is quite distinctive!

Thank you, Craig, for the info and the pics.....another jug and bowl set to look out for:-)
lovely colors and shape!!!
Thanks, SEAN, you are right, very warm colours....
Colors and basic design shapes are impressive, love these. I would love "Glass" in my home, but the expression "Bull in china cabinet" applies for me :-) Love seeing these beautiful examples
Your very welcome sklo!!
Thank you, kerry, for the compliment.
You're very welcome, love to look.....know better than to touch :-)
Thank you nutsabotas, I've actually learned an awful lot from erudite people here on CW. You're perhaps too kind when it comes to my photography :-)
Love the trio!
Wonderful vases, sklo! I love the ox blood color, and agree that the bright yellow lining makes them extra special! :)
Thanks, Ian, nice to have your opinion.
Thanks, Michelle, the lining is like the finishing touch :)
nice post and very instructive all the comments....
Thank you, kivatinitz, isn't that the good thing about CW.....all the things we learn along the way :-)
