Topic: Czech Knobs, Nipples, Bumps.....and ?? Label

[Lustrousstone]

Is the gold in little squares? Looks like it. If so, they're mica flakes inside the glass, which are actually silver coloured, and it's the amber glass that's making them look gold.

 :hi: I will take a closer look at it today here in the sunlight (or what little sunlight there is) to see if I can input anything more.  I will see if it is Silver or Gold Mica....or if it scratches off at all (will try tiny, tiny area).  I may take some more photos in better light to see if this sheds anything....

so still a ?

Are the Knobs, nipples, bumps on mine a bit further spaced than the examples by Wayne ??  Also, I am not sure of the sizes of all those examples, but the one that was for sale  is not as tall as mine.

Will try to give some more input later here..... I hope  :X:

 :hi:  Hi, here are some Extra Pics....

Well, no wiser here. Does not scratch off, nor can you feel the Gold on top (even with my fingernail).  To me it still looks like a *Gold* Color (not silver flakes under amber glass ??).  I am not even sure if it is what you would call Mica Flecks.  It almost looks (IMHO) to look like "Sponged, or Splattered Design Gilt" ?? -- If that makes any sense.  The gold is more concentrated in the area of the bumps that protrude out (see pics).  I also took another pic of the rim.

So I have no ideas at all....  :ho: 

Hope can figure out this, and the label.   :X:

Hi Rose, just a thought, have you tried scratching a bit off from the inside?

[Cathy B]

Those photos make it look applied to outside surface - probably better not scratch any off, or you'll damage it.

Not on the inside....nothing there...  :spls:

I really can't feel it it my fingernail -- and no none came off --- so No damage to it.

I am still clueless on this one.....I might have to contact Moser like astrid suggested.....     :kissy:

What is the height of the ones that you had had/seen Wayne

Hi -- I sent a email to see if I get any info on this label...Thanks

[Wayne]

Hi Rose, I'm very sorry but unfortunately I haven't made a note of the sizes of the vases I have sold in the past.  All I can say is that the Borske vases come in quite a wide variety of shapes and sizes.  I'll keep my eyes open and let you know if I spot any the same size as yours.  Good look with your email, please let us know if you hear anything back from them.

Just talking out-loud here........

....But looking at this Item HERE, does any one see a resemblance (I do NOT mean in shape) BUT rather the Color of the Gold Highlights splashes -- and the sort of Gold Splash Patterns on this

I am only (maybe) hoping  :X: too much -- but so far this is all I have found.....

Any opinions?  Good, bad, or indifferent.....and even left Field      LOL  

 :spls:   Just trying to Dig here....

Hi I received an email back from them -- but no further ahead.  Here is what it said:


Thank you for your e-mail and the interests in Moser glassworks. We appreciate it very much.

I have forwarded your pictures to the identification department and today I was informed that this vase was not produced by Moser glassworks and the label is not Moser label. Products which were not emended by Moser glassworks were also not labeled by Moser. Your glass item was probably produced in the glassworks Egermann (North Bohemia). More information you might get at: www.egermann.cz
Unfortunately we cannot provide you the information of age and name of the label as we also have no idea, where this label can be from.

I am sorry I couldn´t write you more information but hope to be more helpful to you next time.

Have a Merry Christamas and a Happy New Year 2011.

So I had a look at that Website they suggested -- but I ain't just seeing the connection with that Glass -- so I am more confused than before.   Any thoughts on this? or the suggestion?

I must say they responded very promptly back to me, so that  :thup: as it was only 3 days for their Reply !!
