Who made my frosted Zebra?? Desna? Czech? Other?
« on: June 16, 2011, 06:50:11 PM »
Hi, I bought this lovely glass Zebra....frosted, obviously moulded and has a strange circular mark on the base which looks as though it was poured into a mould then smoothed off before it was frosted or satinised.  

About 3 and a bit inches long, he has the most beguiling face.

I don't think he is new, and he reminds me very much of a Desna piece I saw ages ago.  No marks on him that I can find.

Desna was also my first impression...  or perhaps Jablonecke Sklarny...

I've just had a very interesting journey through the Bohemiabloggen site and found a Bohemia rabbit like mine with the label on, so I am thrilled. 
But this little Zebra is made quite differently....much smoother silkier glass finish, and very white, as well as the base being frosted, whereas the Bohemia Crystal has a clear base.

 So, I am still thinking possibly Desna....come on Jindrich and Emil....tune in please............

Rosie, I think your zebra is beautiful.  If I had him I think I'd have to kiss him!

Is 'bumping' what one does to get a post back to the top of the list?

Yep!  You got it in one Nancy!!  :thup:

He is beautiful, and I don't think he is a 'cheapie' either,  but can't find another one to compare him with! :cry:

No luck I'm afraid with my enquiry Anik....I did get a reply, but they were unable to give any ID.....shame.  Still, one day another will come along and all will be revealed.

In the meantime Michelle,  thanks for inadvertantly giving this a gentle 'bump'!!  He is cute, and is definately a keeper.
