Glass Message Board

Going back to the original thread on Etling catalogues.....it went quiet for the last year. But I have more news to report.

It appears there was more than one edition of Etling catalogue. Earlier in this thread it mentioned a date of 1930 and a copy in the hands of a German collector. I have now been informed of an American collector with a copy of an Etling catalogue dated 1926.

The great news is that the collector in America is considering republishing that copy. Watch this space...

Hi, any ideas for this? Doesn’t seem very practical for a tumbler or vase due to the small area of the flat part of the base, perhaps it should sit in some sort of holder or is it just for show?

The clear glass at the top seems like any other clear class, then it meets the coloured glass which is about twice as thick, you can feel the ridge on the outside and inside surfaces.

There are horizontal striations a few bubbles. There is only light wear, I assume it must be very modern? 120mm high, 75mm diameter, no pontil mark.

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.
