First your Vassart piece to sell in this market I would say $40.00 It is a small piece but pretty!The Ysart family had founded Vasart Glass in 1946, when Salvador Ysart and two of his sons left Moncrieff Glassworks and set up their own works in Perth. This now-famous immigrant Spanish family had designed and made the very successful "Monart" glass ( Monart is selling for the highest prices in this market of the three) vases and bowls whilst working at Moncrieff Glassworks, and Vasart glass was similar to Monart but the colours were more pastel. Strathearn glass is similar to both, with a return to bright colours in some examples. Like Monart, the glass was made by blowing a clear crystal blank, then rolling this molten vessel over a pattern made up from crushed fragments of coloured glass (enamels). The whole vase was then cased in clear crystal.
Your second piece was made by Strathearn Glass Scotland (1965 - 1980) value $30.00 Strathearn Glass was the name given to the Vasart Glass company in Scotland when it was bought out in 1965 by Teacher's the whisky company. Teacher's moved the glassworks into a new purpose-built factory in nearby Crieff. Strathearn Glass continued to make the same style of vases, bowls and lamps as Vasart and Monart, but these are easy to distinguish because they have the company trademark, a leaping salmon, imprinted onto the pontil. Strathearn also made millefiori paperweights. These paperweights are selling well and some for high prices even in this market!!
