Topic: Pair of Czechoslovakian acid etched vases?

[lmj]

Hi i found these in a auction job lot box, after a good clean they came up beautifully, they depict fruits and vegetable's so i do not know if they are celery or flower vases, feel they may be Czech deco they stand at 8" high and 4 1/2" at the widest but i have no idea who the maker is,,any ideas?  lynn

sorry i forgot to say the vases have an acid etched mark in capital lettering saying "LOPAQUE ART GLASS made in Czechoslovacian" lynn

HI i was hoping you all could take another look at these vases i have now exhausted all avenues till i have put 2stone on sitting at this PC and my relatives have forgotten what i look like!!,i know i sound obsessed but i think they are beautiful thank you..lynn

Would anyone say if these are a pair or would they have been sold separately as pairs are usually mirror images but these vases are alternate patterns.thanks lynn

A true pair has mirror images, but so many vases pop up in twos that they were obviously sold together; one for each end of your mantel piece. Good marketing... Pressed glass vases are never going to be a true pair as they would require twice as many expensive moulds to make. Hand painting, transfers and engraving only require good stock control and careful worker.
