Green over clear, polished pontil - English?
« on: April 07, 2008, 02:45:47 PM »
Ive just been all through Loetz.com, im pretty sure this is Loetz, not sure of pattern,
possibly Texas?, and i found the same shape under ausfuhrung 102.

Any Loetz fans able to confirm?
Cheers

Can't help, but cool piece!  When Warren comes along, he should be able to tell you something.

Hi, Andy... what you have there is a nice imitation of Loetz Texas decor. I would have picked it up for that price, too. :)

Thanks Warren,
do you mean a modern imitation? or another Bohemian maker, such as the one on this link,

No, not modern - another maker... it could be Kralik, or it could be Harrach - I think it was probably one of the good Bohemian glashüttes. :)
