Topic: Amethyst vase, stepped sides - ID = Lausitzer Glaswerke, "Gent"

[Nemmie]

They come in blue as well, I thought this was Rosice when I first bought it but the base is definitely different and l had already read the Lausitzer attribution elsewhere. Still it's a lovely colour and it fits in well.

Although mine is 150mm. Because I like to be different.

Dirk is right, the amethyst one at the top is a Lausitzer Glaswerke, "Gent" vase, not Rosice, SU.

Umm, just under the vase in question, in the link posted by Anik,

http://www.antiques-international.ch/sklo_d/index.php?m=03&y=10&d=21&entry=entry100301-112756

there's an amber tumbler, said to be by Rosice, (no designer) but it looks awfully like Inwald's Jacobean.

It is Inwald "Jacobean" Sue, latterly known as Rudolfova Hut'. The Rosice 244 pattern has narrow fillets in between each row of panels, unlike "Jacobean" which just has the panels.

The Rosice 244 is shown below... (image courtesy of Marcus Newhall)

My Jacobean jug shows the pattern difference quite clearly...

Back to Gent vs. 5123

1. Rosice 5123 or Lausitzer Gent 200 size
2. Lausitzer Gent 150 size

Naturally not the same size, limiting conclusions and pity above examples do not show bases. Any chance tese can be added.

My thoughts...

Freelance designer who sold the design to both factories with only a country exclusive clause....

Licensed design... but in the same year... no, don't buy that.

Flagrant copying, don't buy that either...

Is the base typical of Lausitzer? If not it could well be a Czech designer, which ones were freelancing in 1969 period?
