Foil 'JS'/'SJ' label on Art Deco Czech glass - glassworks ID, please?

<< < (2/2)

Lustrousstone:
Wrong country Frank

Frank:
Not really, country on label is where the glass was made, decorator might have had an office in Cz too but not a lot of point as only 160 or so km from glassmakers in northern cz

Anyway the JS is exact match for first one above in Hartmann.

Just a thought, they could be cz based just maintaining a showroom in Leipzig to be near the Messe. Hartmann source is Glasindustrie 1933 mine is 1925 but they are not listed there. Without more detail we cannot be certain but label is definitely Josef Schussheim's and not the other 2 I gave. He seems to have vanished in 1938 but may have managed to get to UK and/or US.

Some years later I have come across reference to Jos.Schuster & Co when researching the "Cristallerie de Turn" mentioned in A Study of Loetz Cut Glass Production by Dr. K. M. Hasselbach : "As there was not enough capacity for cutting available at Klostermuehle, Loetz established in 1925 another cutting place at Unterreichenstein (Rejštejn ) together with Jos. Schuster&Co [Lnen, page 60] to satisfy the demand for traditionally bohemian cut glass and marked it mainly to Europe under 'Cristallerie de Turn'." The '[Lnen, page 60]' refers to Jitka Lněničková : 'Johann Loetz Glas aus dem Boehmerwald 1824-1939'.
The Cristallerie de Turn is also mentioned in an article on perfume bottles again by Jitka Lněničková in Pressglas-Korrespondenz Nr. 06/2000 : "Welt der Duftbehälter" : "In einigen lokalen Raffinerien wurde auch Toiletten-Glas verziert: Albrecht & Co. - Košt‘any, Pestner & Co. - Košt‘any, Cristallerie de Turn - Trnovany usw. Auch bei der Firma F. Welz ist die Produktion von Puder-Dosen belegt."

Not saying that the label is Jos.Schuster & Co but is certainly over the border in Czechoslovakia.

Frank:
Jos Schuster & Co 1920-45 Zuckmantel Bohemia. Glassworks and finisher, still doubt label match.
