Moser or Harrach deep intaglio vase?

(1/3) > >>

albglass:
I bought this sure that is was a Harrach intaglio, because it is a solid topaz color and not the two-tone or clear glass that is shown in Baldwin's Moser book.  And Balwin in his text only mentions two-tone, with ruby, cobalt, emerald, and amethyst as colors used in deep engraving (but it is phrased "in its most common form)."  But after comparing it against a two-tone example, I am now not so sure it is Harrach.  You can see the beautifully polished pontil in the second picture, and the entire vase is polished on every surface.  I know Harrach often used gold highlights in their intaglio glass, but this has none, and I can't put my finger on it, but the shape of the flower just seem more "Moser-like" than Harrach.  I just don't know what to think...

Thanks so much for the Moser address, Ohio.  I wasn't thinking they would identify turn of the century glass. I'll give it a try!

albglass:
Here is the response from Moser--it was quite the surprise. I had no idea that Zelezny Brod did deep intaglio engraving!   :o

FROM MOSER: "I have forwarded your pictures to the identification department and was
informed that this glass vase was not produced at the Moser glassworks
as the design and used engraving does not correspond to the Moser
production. This vase seems to be manufactured at the glassworks in
Železný Brod in the North Bohemia."

Mike M:
Hmmm...

that's becoming one of their standard replies
