Topic: Substantial unusual jack in the pulpit studio piece. ID = Baijan Glass

Unfortunately, Bohemian is a bit of an auction house cover all. This JIP strikes me as being much, much newer (as does the other vase) than Bohemian (pre-1918), when JIPs were still Victorian in style or more along the lines of Kralik/Tiffany/Loetz.

Thanks Christine. I bought the two pieces from the same person. They weren't able to give me much info unfortunately.

Thanks for your post too, flying free. Sorry, I missed it earlier.

In that case, I would ask Baijan about both

Is there not a more contemporary Czechoslovakian glass maker making iridescent pieces?  Jan Zemon? maybe?  I need to have a quick look round to check the spelling but that may also be worth a look just to see if he has made JIP in the past.  OOps I've just seen your other thread and Mike has already suggested him.

This jip isn't really properly iridescent - it's silver chloride applied to the glass.
(The crystals of AgCl become liquid in the heat and run around over the glass.)

Perhaps unrelated, but Robert Eickholt has recently unretired (2008 retirement) & is producing studio glass one again what appears to be a limited basis from September to May of each year. He was one of our most prolific & well known U.S. studio operations along with Lundberg, Orient & Flume & Fenton's cameo operation by Kelsey Murphy and Robert Bomkamp so if you run across an Eickholt piece signed 2011 don't be suprised.  Ken

Christine - you were right. This is the reply I received from Essie Zareh:

"This vase is one of our old style avses that were made, I dont know when you have bought this and where, let me know, I can tell you more about it."

I've replied with the pictures of the other piece and ask if she can tell me when and by whom it was made.

You must have a great eye for these things - great call. Thank you!

Essie Zarah is a fella

Ah! Well, I shan't hold it against him ;-)

Still no reply from Essie Zareh. Not sure if this is an appropriate thing to ask but can anyone help with a ballpark valuation?

Any thoughts appreciated!
