Dirk:
I agree with you that it's not very well done, both the glass itself and the netting. I still think it's Harrtil netting, though. On some pieces the strands of the netting get clumped or stretched together so that three strands seem like one. At the bottom of the piece I showed, the three by three strand is clear but the strands are so stretched at the top that it's so hard to see any pattern. There was some talk at some time of Harrtil netting being used by other factories. I've got a faceted cut one where the vase looks very much like an Exbor vase, for example.

dirk.:
Thanks again, David. Got an unexpected call and will be away on a construction job until tomorrow night.
Hope we´ll have WLAN in our hotel... :X: ;D

In truth, it is likely that there was only one manufacturer of such fibre glass netting (3 x 3), at least in Czechoslovakia. Its original use wouldn't have been in vases. You can get a fair number of vases out of enough fabric to make a pair of curtains, not that it would have been used for curtains.

Christine: I thought that it was designed specifically for use in glass as it didn't melt in glass. I seem to remember somebody writing that asbestos was used in its manufacture. I agree that there was only one manufacturer of the material.
Using it for curtains? Why hadn't I thought of that? What better way of proclaiming your admiration for Harrtil. I'm sure my wife would understand.

Yes, somewhere along the way I can remember asbestos being mentioned in connection with it as well.
