Topic: Are these Bohemian?

[Paul ADK]

I took a chance on these two pieces today simply because they were attractive.  My best guess is Bohemian glass of late eighteen or early nineteen hundreds.  I could easily be way off base however as they have some differences from the known examples in our, admittedly limited, collection.

The first item pictured is a 13 1/4" enameled vase with "jewels."



The second item, from my standpoint at least, is more problematic.  To my eye, it looks legitimate with proper signs of age etc., but I have never seen a kerosene lamp of this style.  The overall height of this object is 13".

 

I have two questions:
      A) Are either or both items of Bohemian (German/Czech) origin?
      B)  If so any thoughts as to age and or manufacturer?

Note: clicking on the thumbnails will enlarge the photos.

Thank you for your kind assistance.

the answer is no. The first item is Italian circa 1960s, the second Bohemian but not nearly as old as you suspect - I would guess sixties as well, but cannot be sure from the photo.

Ivo, thank you so much for the quick response.  I guess that is two more for the overflowing shelves in the storage shed.  On the brighter side, if our heirs and assigns are willing to wait fifty years, they will have the makings for one heck of a garage sale.
