Topic: Green powder pot with lid - Libochovice pattern # 1427

[Anne]

Picked this up today for a song, it's 4" (10cm) diameter across the base and 4½" tall (11.5cm), and seriously weighty for a powder pot at 537g. Much to my surprise it glows under my wee UV lamp.

It's shown as part of the set in the 1920s Libochovice catalogue, and I have some of the smaller pots in clear glass somewhere in a box awaiting photographing, but this is the first big one I've seen. Has anyone any examples in other colours please?

Nice, Anne.

By co-incidence, I was just getting ready to show a photo of this set for ID (which was listed on eBay as Bagley - though patently wasn't - and recently sold for the grand sum of £6.50).

Dimensions are give as;
tray approx. 12.25 inches in length by approx. 7.25 inches wide
largest jar approx 4.5 inches in height.
smaller jar approx. 3.25 inches in height.
candlesticks approx. 7.5 inches in height.

Are the candlesticks and tray a match for the #1427 pot?

If so, what are the pattern numbers, please?

Oooh what a coincidence Fred! And yes the tray and candlesticks are a spot on match.  

This is one of the sets which has one large (#1427) and two small (#1428) pots plus tray (#1425), ringholder (#1429) and a pair of candlesticks (#1426), but there are also a number of other matching items... a carafe (#1436) and tumbler (#1435), soap tray (#1434), comb tray (#1433), atomiser  (#1432/6oz) and two perfume bottles (#1431/4oz & 1431/6oz).

There is a full-page catalogue view of the whole set here as Pattern 1425-1429, 1431-1436 -

I have a niggling memory that I have seen this somewhere in blue as well as clear, but I can't find the blue reference again.

Thank you, Anne. I'd quite forgotten that you had that catalogue page on GTS.

I will certainly keep an eye open for other pieces from the extended set and other colours now.

A photo of the matching ring holder of this set  in 3 different colors. Feel free to use the photo for GTS, Anne.

Brilliant, thank you Eugénie, that proves they were made in blue. I'm hoping to get some more updates done to GTS over the next few weeks - it's been ages since I've had spare time to do it.

Nice find Anne, and Eugenie love love love those ring holders, so pretty!
