Title: Red cased clear lamp ID needed
Post by: antmark on January 02, 2013, 01:55:20 PM
I recently purchased this lamp.
It is pressed red cased glass - thick, 14cm high, 1kg, and looks to be sklo union to me.
I was informed that it could be by Miroslav Klinger - but I am unable to find any pressed glass by him - so i feel this is unlikely.
any help in helping me identify would be greatly appreciated.

Welcome to the board. It's not pressed. Rather it's mould blown. I don't think you can case and press

Hi, welcome. I saw the label and thought maybe Murano, but the label seems to say SV... KRI... maybe German Kristall? The shape looks quite German.... not sure it is Czech does the label say KRI... if so German seems possible??

I seem to remember I´ve seen the label on a Smalandshyttan vase some time ago - maybe a possible suspect...
google search for smalandshyttan (https://www.google.de/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=RCq&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&q=smalandshyttan&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&bvm=bv.1355534169,d.bGE&bpcl=40096503&biw=1525&bih=698&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=V43kUMXbCsHL4ASproGABg#um=1&hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=PEq&tbo=d&rls=org.mozilla:en-US%3Aofficial&tbm=isch&sa=1&q=smalandshyttan+&oq=smalandshyttan+&gs_l=img.3..0i24.8320.8320.2.8534.1.1.0.0.0.0.136.136.0j1.1.0...0.0...1c.1.t90arMqG890&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.&bvm=bv.1355534169,d.bGE&fp=c34394127f083ebb&bpcl=40096503&biw=1525&bih=698)

think 'we' might be getting closer - german is seeming likely - but which factories produced glass like this? I know nothing of German glass production - but feel i'm likely to find out. . I love learning new things - esp glass related :)
Thank you so much for all your informative replies

Thanks you Dirk

Josef Schott for Smalandshyttan is looking v likely ??

Looks like right direction but do not see this design attributed to him. What work is there has very different labels. This is also a simpler design so maybe much later than others of his on-line.

I´d agree with you, Frank. I think someone provided a link to a scandi site with lots of Josef Schott
designs some years ago, but I lost the link.... anyone?

The Label (I have just discovered) would have read Scandinavian Crystal (SVENSK KRISTALL).
But try as i might - i have yet to find the design attributed to any factory?

Hello
I recently purchased this lamp and after an exhaustive search have discovered the label reads Scandinavian Crystal. I thought it might be by Josef Schott - but can find no other examples?
any leads / ideas would be v much appreciated.
The lamp is 14cm high and weighs 1.1kg.
Regards

this is a good website for Scandinavian glass.  I had a quick browse but couldn't see similar,however you may find something that triggers a thought?
Either way, makes wonderful browsing  :)

SVENSK KRISTALL means Swedish crystal, so that does narrow it down a bit.

Please don't start a duplicate of an existing thread. I'll ask the mods to move the other thread to Scandinavian; that way we have a proper record and less confusion.

Sorry, I didn't mean to sound brusque. It's not a rule. It helps to keep things simpler and tidier. The aim is to have a reference site, not just a place for people to ask questions. One of the mods will move it soon. You can always ask for something to be moved by using the report to moderator button

Yes, I quite understand. Sorry!
Thanks for letting me know how to go about moving a question in future.
May I say what a wonderful site this is :)
Best
