Topic: Bohemian Glass - pressed glass, clear and frosted vases

Interesting pieces.  Judging by the lack of uniformity in the thickness of the glass, they are mold-blown, as you say.  They sort of look like packaging, but it seems like there's not much place to put a lid or a label, so I'm inclined to think they aren't.  It almost looks like the yellowish color was intentional on the non-satin one (I have lots of 19th C Bohemian glass, and none of it is anywhere near that yellow; most isn't yellow at all).  If they came from Romania, they aren't Bohemian.  Interesting examples of old Romanian mold-blown glass.  I'd be surprised (and impressed!) if anyone here could tell you more about them than you already know - I know of no documentation for that sort of thing.

I came across an article that states " old clear bohemian crystal will yellow with time, this yellow can be removed by heating". The one vase has yellowed.
Thanks

Hi, your clear vase isn't crystal - it's glass - your vase is probably intentionally yellow as opposed to having got that way over time.
