Funny looking cut glass ashtray

<< < (2/3) > >>

Ivo:
Sure it is copper flashed and cut-to-clear; either Bohemian or Italian and "inspired" by older Saint Louis pieces - but I don't get the reference to Chance - which is printed in imitation of this imitation?

Christine and I were referring to the Chance ruby and blue-flashed intaglio items as produced by them during the 1950s. The circular cuts are very reminiscent. See examples on my site.

Lustrousstone:
Actually David, Tony made the Chance reference :oops:

pamela:
if there wasn't a mould line...
first idea on view without reading was Rotter Lübeck - but these are not moulded afaik

Tigerchips:
Thank you Pamela for making me look at this item more closely.

I think I may have made a mistake, apologies.

The mould line is on the ruby parts only. No sign of a mould line on the cut parts or on the inside of the ashtray.

So can we presume the ruby parts are moulded and the clear glass is hand blown? I'm not really sure about the process involved when flashing glass, it is all beyond me at the moment.

Or does the mould line on the ruby parts indicate blow moulding?
