Pressed glass white frosted lady figurine
« on: April 02, 2011, 04:30:57 PM »
Can't find this little lady anywhere and haven't seen one like it before.  She's not particularly well defined but what she lacks in detail she makes up for in style ;D
Almost 8" in length.  Anyone seen one of these before?
TIA ;)

Pretty sure it's Czech, but I forget which maker, I'll have a dig around.  For now have a look at [this].

It's shown in one of the catalogues on the CD that comes with Marcus' Sklo Union book.  The catalogue is "Rudolfova Hut - Glassexport before 1958", page 35.  Pattern number is a bit squiggly but looks like 11932.

 :hi: Anne, Wayne is right, #11932 it is. She also appeared in Inwald's 1948 catalogue and slots into flower holder # 12865.

The same lady with attached flower frog would be # 11931

Die Erfahrung lehrt, dass, wer auf irgendeinem Gebiet zu sammeln anfängt, eine Wandlung in seiner Seele anheben spürt. Er wird ein freudiger Mensch, den eine tiefere Teilnahme erfüllt, und ein offeneres Verständnis für die Dinge dieser Welt bewegt seine Seele.
Experience teaches that anyone who begins to collect in any field can feel a change in his soul. He becomes a joyful man filled with a deeper empathy, and a more open understanding moves his soul.
Alfred Lichtwark (1852-1914)

Thanks folks :hiclp:  I didn't look in my copy and should have done  ::) :-[

She actually came with a white frosted flower holder that looks like the #12865, but unfortunately the hole seems to be slightly too big, and she doesn't stay upright which is a real shame.

Nice to see her with a matching bowl and in different colours.  ;)
