I am very pleased to now have both versions of Mueller ladies... though I prefer the flapper :)
-
Well done. Very strange heads/faces - when were they made?
-
The flapper lady has Registered No. 749772 Foreign impressed on base. Which I found was (Imported by L.Cohen 4.11.1929) by Schweig, Müller & Co., I read somewhere that the head was changed in keeping with fashions of the day so I suppose the amber form one came later... all I need now is the bowls and or the lamps they stood in and on. :)
-
Yep that is all you need :D
-
.... There are many variants of this lady by Mueller. It seems also that each were used/applied for a variety of centrepieces & bowl types and/or stand-alone figurines. I have seven such ladies, all of which are Mueller and yet display slight different qualities: e.g. their heights & hair-forms and the glass frogs/bowls etc., in which they stand.
-
Oh wow you would say that... now I have to find the others !! ;D Do you have any pictures please ?
-
Will do best as able to Simba, but am HOPELESS at such things. Please be patient and I shall ask my Daughter to assist.
Computers and me do not mix... (smile)

A few years late but hopefully still of interest Angela, the lamp still has the X shaped fitting shown in Pressglas Korrespondenz:

She also has "REGISTERED 749772 FOREIGN" on the base, the lamp has no mark at all. It looks great lit, gonna replace the flex with something a bit more in keeping...

I love that.

Would this be another version of these ladies? I have it standing in a Schwieg -Muller bowl with a vertical leaf pattern.
While we are on the subject, could anyone please briefly explain to me why there seems to be such uncertainty about the company? Three versions of their name and some sources seem to think that they were Czech rather than German.

This Schweig Muller Lady Centrepiece is well worth a look, RD Number 749772:

There is also a thread here in the Trinket Sets section where some people including myself believe the "Egyptian" trinket set ladies are very similar to these Muller Ladies, hair style, belts, skirts and colours, but these sets have been seen with Czech labels so possibly the confusion comes from there. ???
