"Made in Czechoslovakia" Square Blue Bathroom Set?
« on: February 02, 2017, 05:29:11 PM »
Hello! My mother has had this set in her bathroom for quite a few years, and I know she bought it at an antique sale probably in the 1980s. I can't seem to find anything similar with this pattern or style. The set has 2 larger decanters, 2 smaller ones that have dabbers like for perfume (one has the top broken off), and a tumbler.

The bottom is marked "Made in Czechoslovakia" in a circular pattern with "Made in" the middle, "Czecho" on top, and "Slovakia" on the bottom.

Any help would be appreciated!

Hello and welcome to the board. I love your jar set, they are fab, and I've not seen them before. Is the mark stamped on or is it moulded into the glass? I can't quite make determine which from your photo.
Cheers! Anne, da tekniqual wizzerd

It's moulded into the glass. I could only make it out on the two larger jars because it's worn down on the other pieces in the set.  I attached a picture of the bottom of the other jar. Thank you!

Super, thank you for confirming. I've been through my reference book on Czech toilet sets and can find nothing like these at all, so I have moved the topic over into the Czech etc forum (as we know the glass *is* Czech thanks to the stamp) and hopefully one of the folks who specialise in Czech glass may be able to help with the mark or the general design. Fingers crossed!
