Title: Pressed glass white frosted lady figurine
Post by: Anne E.B. on April 02, 2011, 04:30:57 PM

Can't find this little lady anywhere and haven't seen one like it before.  She's not particularly well defined but what she lacks in detail she makes up for in style ;D
Almost 8" in length.  Anyone seen one of these before?
TIA ;)

Pretty sure it's Czech, but I forget which maker, I'll have a dig around.  For now have a look at [this (http://www.black-poppy.co.uk/Miscellaneous_&_Unknown_-_Centrepieces_&_Frogs/photo1293.htm)].

It's shown in one of the catalogues on the CD that comes with Marcus' Sklo Union book.  The catalogue is "Rudolfova Hut - Glassexport before 1958", page 35.  Pattern number is a bit squiggly but looks like 11932.

 :hi: Anne, Wayne is right, #11932 it is. She also appeared in Inwald's 1948 catalogue and slots into flower holder # 12865.

The same lady with attached flower frog would be # 11931

Thanks folks :hiclp:  I didn't look in my copy and should have done  ::) :-[

She actually came with a white frosted flower holder that looks like the #12865, but unfortunately the hole seems to be slightly too big, and she doesn't stay upright which is a real shame.

Nice to see her with a matching bowl and in different colours.  ;)
