Your other more recent post on the Percival Yates insulator prompted me to look at this again.  And once again I can't remember where I've seen it recently but I've definitely another reference to this grid formation pattern being French.  I can't remember what it was I saw though, whether it was a piano insulator or another type of item 

This is an identified example for comparison of detail:

They are hard to photograph but it would be nice to see a close up of the face/head, and  from the side perhaps if you can manage a good shot.  Nice to see the detail.  Thank you.


I also came across this old thread about Jostra which might be worth looking at again:

however, looking at the pictures in this thread from Jostra, I couldn't see anything which had a similar base and the lamp post one doesn't look the same:

I've added two links to my post above

Honestly I can't see any similarities between the figure you point out on ebay and yours, apart from the design idea of making a lamppost with a man underneath it.


Is yours heavy for size or extremely light lampwork?  Just curious to know.

Yours also has opalescent buttons up his jacket.  Perhaps an opalescent right hand?

I've found a link to one of the catalogues I was thinking of for Zelezny Brod Sklo but couldn't see it in that one.  Link here as it will show you some of the range of different figurine items and the differences in how they were made.

I'm sure there were two catalogues but I don't have time to try and find the other at the moment. Will look later.

Ok the other one I was thinking of is here - quick post, I've not checked it:

Agree to Brychta and also have no idea which book to find it in.
