I would recommend Ivo's book, which covers the basic details of ten Hoffmann's including Josef. He is quite important. The factory in Gablonz was set up in 1900 for pressed glass. Curt Schlevogt got involved c1934. For some reason that bit is not in Ivo's book, his life looks very complicated with all of THE names in glass mentioned. Most of the info I have is in German which I cannot translate easily and is in Hartmann, Glasmarken Lexicon. Unlike Ivo's book it costs an arm and a leg.

Miller's Glass Fact File a-z
a contemporary guide to artists, factories and techniques
by Ivo Haanstra, (C) 2001 Octopus Publishing Group Ltd.

You can find a link to it in Ivo's post in our author's thread http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,2066.0.html

Thank you, Frank, that's totally what I expected and hoped  :wink:

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)

This listing has some info, not sure how accurate. Pricey for the damage, other pieces of Hoffmann seem to be selling for a lot less.
