Topic: Amber glass set with ‘winged tulip’ candlesticks - ID = Rudolfova / Inwald

[agincourt17]

An amber pressed glass trinket set comprising tray, pair of candlesticks, 3 lidded pots, and a pin dish.

The tray is heavily ribbed and very distinctive in outline and decoration.  The short candle sticks have bases with twisted, wide ribs, and the candleholder cup is rather like a tulip flower with the addition of small ‘angel wings’ on each side. The lidded pots (one large plus 2 small) have bodies with twisted ribs matching the candlestick bases, and a lid finial in the form of a distinctive crescent-shaped crest extending from the edge of the lid to just over half way across. The pin dish is a miniature version of the tray.

ID’s, comments or suggestions, please?

I also have photos of a similar set in a pretty blue colour which I will post at the end of its ebay auction listing.

Does anyone have photos of similar sets or pieces in other colours, or of a ringholder in the same pattern, to share, please?

The tray, pintray and candlesticks are not shown there, so I wonder if they may pre-date Sklo Union and be original Inwald patterns?

Fred, you might guess that I am rebuilding the GTS site currently after the server move. It broke it bigtime!

Inwald 1940 catalogue yields a bit more of this set:

candleholder  = pattern 11915
perfume bottle = pattern 11771
atomiser = pattern 11773

Thank you, Anne.

If you need any help with images to rebuild the GTS site just let me know.

Some photos now of pieces from a set in green uranium glass (permission for the re-use of these images on the GMB granted by auctionhuntrix) and of the candleholders in pink glass (permission for the re-use of the mage on the GMB granted by bon59).

Thanks Fred, I have all the data stored safely it is just the underlying script that ran the site that broke. I would appreciate being able to add these images though if that's OK?

[agincourt17]

No problem, Anne.

When I seek permission for trinket set images I ask for it to be given for re-use on the GMB and on your GTS site.

Fred.

That's super, thank you Fred. I'm doing the new page for this set now so can add them straight in.
