Topic: Very old blue coffee mug

[BlueOctopus]

I try to get an exsample over the libery. if not, then I have a perfect christmas present for my husband.
I´m just on the way to the sofa with a couple of Kg of books, worse to be restudied, one is from Walter Spiegl as well so maybe i will find something. But I´m very happy to find out so much in this short time. And in the next days I will come along with an other question, a beautiful heavy vase with an idea where it is from, but the expert I asked said no

Nice sunday evening and thank you again

@ flying free, sorry I don‘t know your name: Christine??

I looked for your books, you said 5.... I could not find them. Not at Amazon, not in the central libery not in used books or EBay.

Walter Spiegl Böhmische Gläser 5 Books to one Set???

Could you give me a picture? Or did I misunderstand something?

Super
Now i know my mistake, I thought it is written my Walter Spiegl.  That’s an very good price
To long and to interesting to wait until Xmas 
This month I bought the horses of Neptun from Inwald, so I have to wait until next month. But then...
If you don’t know the horses of Inwald... you find them in Pamelas Glas Musterbuch in the catalog of weil. The Vase arrived today, and I think even my husband will be impressed... he usually is not interested in anything what is not a horse.
Nice evening and once again thank you
Monika
And that in brackets ..... does that mean your male... sorry I‘m blond old and German .

Oh don't wait til Christmas - It's a great book and even though my German is terrible I still love the book and plough my way through trying to translate the various information into English so I can understand the context.

Definitely a great buy if you like that period of glass. 

Also highly recommend the Harrach book, From Neuwelt to the Whole World.  I think that has a German format.(? - it might just be English and Czech?  ) It is a truly fabulous book with a HUGE amount of information in it.   It's a fantastic book. Not only in terms of Harrach output but just generally to get information from across the whole 19th century (some earlier and some later of course as well).  Harrach were such a huge producer of glass that it translates well as a detailed information about the styles and types of glass of the period.

I can also highly recommend Farbenglas I and Farbenglas II by Waltraud Neuwirth - amazing books!

In the mean time my books arised to 1 m only glass books. From new and modern glass down to the beginning . I‘m sitting on my sofa and having the tower of Pisa in books around. Every time I‘m surching for something special I don‘t find this but something I missed the 100 times before. To be honest, I‘m more a specialist for Scandinavian glass. The very old glas, or these delicious art nouveau glasses of Lötz or Galle I will never can pay, but dreams are welcome . And to get more informations about my old mug it is worth to buy the next 25 cm of books
Glad to join this forum of glass sick persons like me.
