This one now belongs to a friend here in Hamburg and we feel mixed...

It seems to be Jobling in every respect but bears two marks at the base: one seems to be etched: TCHECOS....
the other one pressed high TCHECOS....
Anyone any idea?
Thank you as always :)

Pamela, a fascinating mystery. I am afraid I can add very little. I agree, the figure appears identical to the early Jobling Ballerina figure (she was later modified with longer legs & a shorter skirt, see Baker & Crowe pp57-8.) Apparently the original mould was made in France.
Is there any chance of seeing a photograph of the marks? I do have a pressed glass fish figure which has a relief moulded mark 'TCHECO - SLOVAQUIE'. There's a slim chance it could be from the same maker, not that I know who that is yet!

thank you so far Steven! Anja of Buntglas-Hamburg will ask her son to upload the photos of the mark - I've seen them and they will lead further I do hope! I return to this asap!
Thanks again :D

Hi, Steven and Pamela,
The issues regarding these marks are manifold.
Raised marks seem to appear mainly on Reich and Rindskopf pieces, the acid etched on many. Yet only this week we have another variant on relief lettering, by an as yet un-identified maker. In this case, are we looking at a copy from a better quality European maker, of the original French design???
Regards,
Marcus

Anja is very grateful for your comments :D

The first word looks like it has a letter "K" in it so perhaps "Czechoslavakis" or "Czechoslovakis"?
The second word could be "Tchecoslovaquie"? as Steven has suggested.

Anja is working on a better photo and I shall see the item firstly next weekend and shall report :wink:

hello Pamela,
I've had a look at the picture of the mark. Unfortunately it is unlike any of the marks on my pieces so I can't add a great deal.
It is still a very intriguing item. It does appear to be an exact match to the Jobling figure, leading me now to question whether other examples I have seen in the past were genuine Jobling production or not.
Very confusing :?

Here are two links to a figurine just like the one Anja has. I have since sold this one.
I have given some details about this one with the photo, the details were found in the records in London for me by Geoff Timberlake.
Czechosloviakia with a T (TCZECHOSLIVAKIA) I have seen this on glass ware myself and I am sure it is for glass exported from Czechislovakia to France, I can not remember how I found this out, maybe this board !!!

Here is an example of a mark, to the base of a piece for export to France:

Documented vase, so no question as to who used this mark for this item.

Tony please, there must be a knot in our threads - I am still talking about the Jobling Ballerina :?

Pamela
Sorry a senior moment I forgot yours was a Ballerina figurine.

again, it's another long shot but i remembered this figure & bowl that I had seen previously:
http://www.antiquecentreworldwide.com/items.php?items_category_id=350&first_item=45
I had always assumed it to be a marriage; however,it is a good colour match and with the discovery of the Czech ballerina, I'm thinking that there is a faint possibility that this is a matched set, all made in Czechoslovakia. Certainly if anyone can recognise the make of the bowl it gives a possible starting point.

I shall not notice on her provenance 8)
best I can tell is that Anja's photos are the nmaximum to retrieve!
fact is: there are two acid etched marks
both say
TCHECOSLOV
the rest is out of sight and unreadable I am afraid
the upper one is 'blank' in matt, the lower obviously made BEFORE matting the whole item
:twisted:

Hi,
Another long wait, of eighteen months, is finally over.........
ID is Rosice, though whether produced while the factory was owned by Vaclav Hrdina, or slightly later, when owned by Bedrich Vrtal, I cannot say for sure.
The ballerina is from a set, pattern number 2483, consisting of figurine, bowl and plinth. Certainly still made in the late 1950s.

Marcus
