Topic: Drinking glass with printed horse.

Hi, yes it does, hadn’t considered that
I had been assuming it was replicating the engraved horses from Bohemia that were popular...but maybe it looks a bit flamboyant for that

I have since bought this glass with a printed flower that looks to use the same process as for the horse, the flower is the same image as printed on the Webb Corbett style weights. I posted photos of this glass on the paperweight topic and Chopin-liszt identified it as by Dema. http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,71964.msg400930.html#top

Looking at the detail of this flower glass, you can see that each layer is on top of the other, this doesn’t look like it’s been transferred by a rubber stamp as I previously thought as I don’t think you would see the layers so clearly. Also, you can more clearly see the shadow of the grid of the screen used in the printing process.

Looking into Dema, I found this fantastic “Dema” screen printing machine that prints more than one layer directly onto glass (bottle printing shown in the clip): https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GazwA13MFJY I think this process was used, especially for the flower.
