A bargain too Christine dont you think!?

I might start collecting these, attractive, well designed, good quality and cheap!

I still feel our yellow/green ones have a 30s-50s feel...but maybe I'm wrong? Marcus, Ivo, et al.....?

No I don't think so. I would describe these as fairly recent or "last quarter 20th century".

Dont know if you spotted this Della... http://www.glaskilian.de/Besandeter-Ascher-ZBS-Bohemia.687+B6YmFja1BJRD02ODcmTD0xJnByb2R1Y3RJRD01ODU5JnBpZF9wcm9kdWN0PTY4NyZkZXRhaWw9.0.html] .... it's basically the same as ours with a different finish, there's others on the site with the acid finnish like ours as well....but they seem to date everything circa 1965 so not confident about the dates.

Ivo, Thanks for the original ID of Della's and the 'last quarter 20C' definition, for some reason I was thinking last 10 years or so for 'fairly recent vintage'. I'm sure you know what your talking about and I like them whatever the vintage.

No, I didn't spot it, Martyn (thanks!) and it is normally one of the sites that I visit quite often. I now have 3 pieces from ZBS (that I am sure about). I actually quite like some of their stuff; substantial and very tactile

I think the rolled in glass splinter are still in current production. I have these in pink, in neodymium and in citrine.
