Topic: Schachtenbach 1850 ish? Jade green satin uranium glass lustre with snake, gilded

[flying free]

yes...catch-all - I was actually just wondering if, having seen them in this colour, it might rule in or out whether or not they could be Schachtenbach or indeed pin them down to another country?

This could quite easily be Josephenenhutte

but alas I do hot have the first volume of Stefania's book on Josephenenhutte (covering the 1850s) -nor I do read German (only vol 2 1900-1950 is in English)

At the Passau Museum there are literally rooms full of this type of glass all attributed to Josephenenhutte and then further on small rooms of similar glass where they have decided they are something else (mostly unattributed)

Sorry I can't be more help

Mike, thank you    I'm desperate to get to the Passau museum (and a few others) to look round.  I hope to at some point this year or next.  Books....I have lots of them - but unfortunately never the ones I need at the time - my list is as long as my arm at the moment and seems to grow weekly, so thank you for the reference as I shall add it to my list.

Its beautiful Flyingfree. I've just posted a Schachtenbach vase too 
I love the ones in the link too, its quite a distinctive style.
I love the green ones. My favorite vase I've seen to date, was green with a little gold trim around the bottom and pointy top. Simple. But the most elegantly proportioned vase i believe possible to make!

This is the 'perfectly formed' vase i was talking about. None of the vases are mine, i just thought to snap a photo of them, somehow lost the pointy top of the first. The second photo is of some others i found.
