Could this be a Bimini "lampblown art deco prancing lady - ID = Istvan Komaromy

(1/3) > >>

Tramonto:
Hi folks

Could anyone possibly identify this lovely lady whom I discovered in a charity shop recently please?  I have something very similar in a glass book which was styled as a drinking glass, this was described as a Bimini art deco prancing lady.  Mine has a silver rectangular sticker with a name on in script which I unfortunately can't read.  This made me wonder whether my lady is a more recent production done in the style of Bimini.

More recently though I looked in one of those general Millers Antiques Price Guide books and in a small black and white pic I spotted what appears to be this very same lady, identified as Bimini.  Is this possible considering it has a sticker which definitely doesn't say Bimini?  I think the first name could be Fabian (or possibly Tobias) but the surname I can't make out at all, maybe it begins with F, T, H or J and definitely ends in Y but the rest I don't know.

I would love to know if anyone recognises this piece and especially the mystery name on the label.

Many thanks in advance for any assistance.

Anne:
Could you take a good close up photo of the label please? Someone may recognise the label and be able to tell you more.

Tramonto:
Hi Anne and thanks for your response.

I've tried to photograph the label but unfortunately it isn't very clear :

Also here is a slightly clearer pic of the lady.

Any thoughts on this from anyone would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

I am also sure (well, possibly sure) that in a discussion on Bimini-type pieces some time ago in this Board, a very similar female figure was shown.

Anne:
The one you're recalling Kev is nowhere near as graceful as this lovely lady.
See thread here: http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,23.0.html

The legs on the ones we discussed before are more like tree trunks... and their hair and other parts of their anatomy differ greatly also!

Tramonto's lady is just so elegant and graceful - she's delightful.
