Czech Thumbprint Optics - Jeweler - Murmac
(1/1)
paradisetrader:
This label on an Ebay item http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7407347323
should put to bed any doubts about the Czech origin of these thumbprint optics - discussed previously in this thread
http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,3264.0.html
and maybe others.
This label is particularly informative but just as mysterious as the last one I tried to interpret ! :roll:

Ivo:
retail?
Sklounion:
Possibly designed by Kannegeiser. He worked at Zelezny Brod, and was responsible for the "Nemo" range, which is similar, with coloured/lustred lenses.

I'm glad to have found out a bit about this type of vase. I really like the big globe ones. they're quite architectural to look at. And they're absolutely fantastic with little LED fairylights in. :D
I've got a couple of the pearly painted ones too, but they're a bit gross to be honest. 8) :x
Edit: lol You can see my gas mask if you look carefully... :lol:
Frank:
Vases with this type of decoration were made by many glass-works so you need to take shape, thickness etc into account. Farquharson certainly did something close, as did Whitefriars, Stuart and others non-english.
