In Arthur Churchill's Glass Notes no. 10 glasses with combined opque white and colour twist stems account for 56.4% of all mixed and colour twist stems. Of the 87 mentioned there are only three of this specific colourway and form Nos. 26, 30, and 31. Rare is a justified adjective.

 

Ebay is a fantastic platform via which to communicate. I am Eric Knowles. I am unquestionably a people person in so far as I like to know the person at the end of the telephone, or those with whom I like to know the seller.

Please do not think me egotistical, however, it is important that people know exactly who I am. I have been involved in the antiques business since 1971. My career took a leap forward when I joined Bonhams in 1976. Some five years later I became head of the Decorative Arts department. The same year I was invited by the BBC to take part in the Antiques Roadshow four decades later I am still enjoying being a part of the team.
