Topic: Erwin Eisch signature/works

[Ysala]

I can't help you with regards to Eisch, but with a translation:

Mit deifem Glas erwerben Sie eine Befonderbeit aus dem Bayerifden Wald, eine Roftbarleit fur den Renner echter Glasmacherlunft. Entwurf u. Technil
      flammenvon
unferem Runftler
Erwin Eifch

Nev is right, in the old script the s looks a lot like todays f (my granddad used to write in the old script...)

My translation into "proper" German would be:
Mit diesem Glas erwerben Sie eine Besonderheit aus dem Bayerischen Wald, eine Kostbarkeit für den Kenner echter Glasmacherkunst. Entwurf u. Technik stammen von unserem Künstler Erwich Eisch.

And in English:
With this glass you are buying a specialtiy from the Bayerische Wald (literal translation would be Bavarian Forest but it's the name of a region), a treasure for the conneseur of real artistic glassworks.
Design & Technik (I think the next should read "stammen von"?) are from our artist Erwin Eisch
("Flammen" are flames, that doesn't make too much sense...)

Hello together

I think it is like in all great glas manufactures, the design and maybe the first peace are from the artist himself, the rest than is made by the workers at the manufacture. Not every glas which is signed Vallien from kosta Boda was blown by himself.

Eisch is a great old glas manufacture and Erwin Eisch a great artist, but I doubt that he has blown many vases and small things. In an interview on his Eisch webside he says that he is now more again a painter , and he mainly was working on these big glas heads.

Eisch has a serie which is known as poetry in glas, a unica line . I own one of these peaces and it is signed Eisch 99 and it has a certificate by Eisch that this is an unica. No E in front.

This is Katrin's translation. 

"With this piece of glass you buy a speciality from the Bavarian Forest, a treasure for the specialist of real glass arts. Design and technology by our artist Erwin eisch."

But others have already come to the rescue, thank-you all!

I do like hearing what Fuhrman Glass had to say. The piece I have, without an E. with manufacturing flaws and wonky bits, is one that makes Saint-Saens "Danse Macabre" start up in my head.
It's like the rib cages of skeltons, all holding hands and dancing around it. I fell in love the second I laid eyes on it. It most decidedly oooozes eccentricity. I don't, sadly, have pics and can't find anything like it online.

  Thanks Keith.
It's marked Eisch '90.

Keep in mind that the European way of glass factory manufacturing  of even limited art pieces was to have the " shop" of several individuals actually craft the piece while under the supervision of the artist. I saw this at the International Glass Symposiums many years ago in Novy Bor, Czech Republic. It about drove some of the American artists crazy that they could not handle the pipe and be the head gaffer. Even in this setting which had many international renown glass artists working the pieces were actually executed by the factory team under the direction of the artist. The likes of Peter Layton, Finn Lyngaard, Roubicek, Fritz Dreisbach, Marvin Lipofsky and many others. There was a definite distinction between small studio production and factory produced art glass under the direction of an artist. Most  Chihuly pieces from the last 25 years or more were never touched by him but still bore his signature.

I knew about Layton and Chihuly, not about the others, thanks!
I was curious about the absolute translation of the label, to find out if it said that pieces with this label were made under Erwin Eisch's direction or just to his designs at the studio.
There is a difference. 
I love my "Danse Macabre". I'd like to know who, exactly made it, to give them the credit, but it won't affect how I feel about it.
