<p>[QUOTE=&quot;KSW, post: 5218352, member: 8708&quot;]I really need some help to know what I have here please!Sorry it’s a long one! </p><p>Purchase from the charity shop. </p><p>A collection of 14 glass intaglios ranging from 3/4” to 1” across. Some loose and some in surrounds. They are incredibly difficult to photograph so I need to set up some proper lighting. On a white background they are invisible, on black the grain distorts the image.</p><p>Some of the subjects are familiar to me Pan, Hercules and The Three Graces and some I’m unsure of. [USER=5833]@Bronwen[/USER] Please could you help me identify?</p><p>They range from a skilled hand to a little more basic. Some of the glass has lots of bubbles. The camera doesn’t pick up a lot of the detail but some of the glass looks quite old. Lots of dirt doesn’t help either but cleaning is potentially problematic without damaging the surrounds. </p><p>There is one clear signature of Marchant which Google tells me could be Nathaniel Marchant but I’m well aware copies could be made although they don’t give me a modern feel. </p><p>On some there are letters that look like Roman Numerals but not clear enough to read. </p><p>Some have letters at the base of the figures. </p><p>Apologies as I know it may be almost impossible to ascertain much about them from dodgy photos but I’d welcome any input. </p><p>Thankyou for looking <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>Photos will go onto two posts. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]414693[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]414694[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]414695[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]414696[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]414697[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]414698[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]414699[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]414700[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]414701[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
