A PAIR OF 19TH CENTURY PUGH GLASS CELERY VASES IN THE MANNER OF FRANZ TIEZE, of trumpet form decorated with wheel cut continuous landscapes of deer in woodland. 25.5cm tall In 1855 Thomas and Richard Pugh left the glassworks firm Irwin's of Potters' Alley to set up a small glassworks at Lower Liffey Street. The business expanded quickly and by 1863 the Pughs had taken over the historic premises at Potters' Alley where glass had been manufactured since the middle of the 18th Century. The firm produced a wide range of domestic and industrial glass and when it closed its doors in 1890 no led glass was manufactured in Ireland until the establishment of Waterford Glass in 1947. In an effort to meet the growing popularity of good quality table glass the Pughs recruited accomplished bohemian glass engravers, among them was Franz Tieze. Here Tieze developed an elegant, highly individual style focusing on naturalistic and Celtic revival motifs. He was one of the only engravers brought over by the firm who settled in Dublin, remaining here long after the Pugh's glassworks had closed.

Born in Anglesey, Morris spent most of his adult life in Cardiganshire (from 1746 as Deputy Steward of the Crown Manors in that county). One of the main promoters of the Celtic movement in the 18th century, he was regarded in both Welsh and English circles the authority on the Welsh language and its early literature and antiquities. His extensive notes to John Selden's own extensive printed notes (or 'Illustrations') provide important evidence of Morris's profound scholarship. Robert George Windsor-Clive, 1st Earl of Plymouth (1857-1923) Conservative politician, Mayor of Cardiff, and Lord Lieutenant of Glamorganshire. (1)

A superb and highly unusual Victorian London made Khanjar hunting or expedition knife by Savigny & Co as featured in The London Knife Book and from the Ron Flook Collection, 23cm recurved blade stamped SAVIGNY & CO. 67 ST. JAMES'S STREET LONDON, the wooden hilt carved in the Scottish manner with entwined Celtic strapwork, the pommel carved in the form of a Camel's head, contained in its white metal mounted brown leather sheath. See Plate 143 on Page 144 of The London Knife Book by Ron Flook. Discussions have suggested that the camels head is representative of a family crest. There are two crests featuring a camels head listed in Fairbairn's Crests and taking the carving of the grip as being representative of a Scottish family the principal crest could be that of Fullarton or Fullerton, possibly linking it to Lt-Col James Alexander Fullerton who served in the Himalayas in 1845-47. However, a further crest featuring a crowned camels head emerging from a coronet points to the family of Pattison and Second Lieutenant John Robert Graham Pattison who served with the Ceylon Rifles circa 1840. Given that there are no engraved crests or initials this is all supposition.
Ionia, Ephesos (?) EL Stater. Circa 575-560 BC. Forepart of bridled horse left, sunburst before; lotus flower on its back / Rectangular incuse punch between two square incuse punches, all with roughly patterned surfaces. Weidauer 138 (these dies); Mitchiner 135; ACGC 56. 14.31g, 20mm. Extremely Fine. Very Rare. The lotus flower that appears upon the horse's back is an element common to several electrum staters from uncertain mints attributed to Lydia or Ionia, all struck on the Milesian standard: the recumbent lion type (Rosen 245; NAC 72, 16 May 2013, 369), bull kneeling with its head reverted (Rosen 148), and two rampant lions upright on their hind legs with heads reverted and paws extended (Rosen 149). On all of these coins the lotus flower may initially appear incidental, though its commonality to all types indicates otherwise – it is evidently to be seen as the key element of the obverse type that links the different animal designs together. The lotus flower appears only sporadically in Greek mythology, though it had a deep rooted use in Egyptian art and legend, where it was taken as a symbolic representation of the sun on account of its physical behaviour: it closes at night time and descends into the water, rising and flowering again at dawn. In Egyptian creation myth, the lotus was the first thing to spontaneously form from chaos, and it was from the lotus that the sun itself was born on the first day. The eastern coastal areas of the Mediterranean in the sixth century BC had been for a long time familiar with Egyptian religious beliefs that spread as a consequence of trade and population dispersal; the lotus' insinuation in its Egyptian meaning into Greek culture is evident in the lotus-tipped sceptre carried by Zeus on the coinages of Karia, Mysia and Kilikia (among others), being a legacy of the assimilation of an attribute of the major Egyptian solar deity Ra with the principal god of the Greek pantheon Zeus. The lotus' appearance here as a polyvalent symbol can best be understood then in the context of assimilated Egyptian beliefs, representing at once both a solar and divine aspect, as well as a clear allusion to the minting city's location. Interestingly however, the lotus is not the only solar element present on this coin – immediately before the horse's chest we can discern the presence of a sunburst similar in depiction to those found on the contemporary coinage of Alyattes. This element may have been included on account of its being more universally familiar, being well understood to signify what we now refer to as Anatolia, which comes from the Greek Aνατολή (Anatolē) meaning the 'East' or more literally 'sunrise', used to refer to the Ionian colonies on the west coast of Asia Minor. Moreover the horse was itself considered a solar symbol, not only throughout the East, but also among Celtic and Germanic tribes, suggesting a common ancient root to this association. Such preponderance of solar symbology is indeed only fitting for this metal, and is in fact an overt statement of the coin's composition: ἤλεκτρον, the Greek word for electrum, is derived from the word ἠλέκτωρ (ēlektōr) - 'shining sun'.
