Help with green lady
« on: May 02, 2010, 12:13:25 PM »
Hi, I am a lover and collector of glass but due to most picecs not being marked I have many pieces that I would love to know more about. So I have joined to get some help with my favourite pieces and hopefully to give help where I can.
The first piece I would love to know more about is a green lady in a flowing skirt.
She fits into the frog perfectly so I am sure it is original but I think bowl is wrong, it dosn't seem big enough and she dosn't fit snuggly into it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My best guess would be Czech, by Joseph Inwald.

Your lady is shown on this website with several different bowls (scroll about half way down):

The frog seems to be the same as yours.  Also note the fish figure shown with the same frog and bowl as the green lady on that page...

The same fish centerpiece is shown on this website, described as Joseph Inwald (click the Inwald link on the left menu):

No idea on your bowl though sorry.

Thank you for that, that is her, the bowl she originally came with was quite plain when you compare it to the blue version.

The piece is Czechoslovakian, designed for Joseph Inwald company (note please that Inwald was founder of Rudlolfova hut factory, businessman, not designer), produced also after WWII in Rudolfova hut. You can find it in Rudolfova hut - Glassexport before 1958 catalogue at CD attached to Marcus Newhall Sklo Union book.

pattern no 11932 + 12865 + bowl (I suppose you will find it at CD, I am not so patient)
