Topic: 'Tango' question

[keith]

'Tango' is two colour glass so do these qualify having one base colour and having EPNS rims?(smallest just over 2 in's across) :huh:

I feel as though I should let you down gently Keith but I think you are barking not so much up the wrong tree as in the wrong forest.

Two colours of glass...... The second colour is often trailed decoration, like the stripes on the body or the rim of this vase: http://picasaweb.google.com/Johnmj100/CzechGlass#5560137385431166466

Bravo John  :po: way to go!

I believe the red glass with the metal trim is actually German. Not sure who or how long or how many variants - but we seem to see rather a lot of them here. It was a popular colour in the 1930s - along with orange and opaque green. But only the ones with a contrasting trailing count as Tango.

Any particular factory,Ivo?

I would have divulged if it were known. My personal favourite candidate is Strangfeld & Hannemann - but it could have been any of a dozen factories or so.
