Mystery Czech?
« on: August 26, 2013, 03:18:09 PM »
Recently aquired this - not seen another before. Underneath it has a hand written sticker that says ‘bought in 7/70 Bohins Slovenia (only item in double window, corner of two roads)’. So I’m thinking it could well be Czech, but it also looks a bit Belgium (Val Saint-Lambert) or a bit French (Durand) I just don’t know.

If it was bought in Slovenia, I guess Yugoslavian is another option.
If I remember correctly there were/are some makers of cut crystal there.

BTW, the town is called "Bohinj".

Ah well yes, that would be me not being at all good at recent history when combined with geography. Looks like the sticker does say Bohinj, it's just that the handwriting isn't totally clear.

I would agree to most probably Rogaska crystal, from Slovenia.
