Topic: Big, very heavy Egermann centre piece bowl - approximate age?

[peejyweejy]

Hi all...I wonder if anyone could tell me the approximate age of this bowl? Also, I wonder if it has a pattern name. It has a gold sticker saying "Egermann - Czech Republic" and is etched "Egermann" on the base....Thanks!

Here's a pic of the base!

hi there
Due to the words czech republic its not very old, currently i cant for the life of remember when they started using this i think it was early 1990's give or take, (although its highly possible im wrong  ) i do have it wrote down somewhere the approx dates, so will have a search and let you know, although im sure someone else will pick it up before i remember

Thanks Michelle!

i think they only used the wording Czech republic after 1993 (ive got 1991 and 1993 in my head but im sure its the later).
sorry cant help with a pattern name though

That's great...I have found similar on the Egermann web site - but I really like the mottled effect on this one. I'll keep looking...thanks for you help

Your bowl has been fabricated in period 1998 - 2009.  The free hand glass is not more produced in Egermann s.r.o. even factory after few months of break produces the red stained "Egermann style" thin walled glass again.

Hi Jindrich, thanks for reply. Sorry to be a nuisance but I need to clarify this; in English, the word "fabricate" has a few meanings and one of them is to fake or forge. Are you saying that this is a fake?

Hi Peejy,
im absolutely sure Jindrich means produced or made , not fake, his English is much better than our Czech

Hi Andy, I have no doubt that Jindrich's English is much better than our Czech which, in my case, is non existant. I was pretty sure he meant - made/ manufactured - but I just wanted to be sure. I thought long and hard about my reply, before posting, as I didn't want to seem derogatory in any way. I hope I haven't offended anyone.
