Author Topic: Top quality Bonbon dish, any ideas anyone?? (Read 761 times)

Hi , a lovely dish, charity shop buy, trawled my books and web,closest
ive found is Loetz Marmorietes, that would make it 1900, but theres no
sign of age. It is however really nicely made, iridescent all over, even
on the base. The white glass centre is perfect, top rim finely finished.
It really is a quality piece.

Any clever person out there in glass land got any ideas?
Cheers Andy

My first thought would be modern Polish, but that's only a thought

I have to say it would be my thought as well. There's a lot of very good quality glass coming out of Poland at the moment!

It strikes me as the right area,Bohemian /east Europe , and that would explain lack of age wear! or possibly an English studio?
Thanks :?

Looks a bit like Jozefina, Krosno, http://www.jozefina.pl/04E.html ... but not quite.

The stems are not fine enough for Jozefina, a local pub has a wall of their tall tazzas in blue and amethyst, and they look wonderful under the lights, the thin stems are very ethereal.

Hi,i cant find much on Friedrich, im thinking it would have to be a few
years old for that, and ive checked again, there is really no sign of age,
i very much like the Jozefina/Krosno, just looked thru website, its not
quite, but very close to some of the cased stuff!
Really appreciated!
Thanks, Andy

(its also similar to American Iridescent, but again, age makes that
unlikely)
