It seems to be Jobling in every respect but bears two marks at the base: one seems to be etched: TCHECOS....
the other one pressed high TCHECOS....

Anyone any idea?

Thank you as always  :)

B & M:
Pamela, a fascinating mystery. I am afraid I can add very little. I agree, the figure appears identical to the early Jobling Ballerina figure (she was later modified with longer legs & a shorter skirt, see Baker & Crowe pp57-8.) Apparently the original mould was made in France.

Is there any chance of seeing a photograph of the marks? I do have a pressed glass fish figure which has a relief moulded mark 'TCHECO - SLOVAQUIE'. There's a slim chance it could be from the same maker, not that I know who that is yet!

thank you so far Steven! Anja of Buntglas-Hamburg will ask her son to upload the photos of the mark - I've seen them and they will lead further I do hope! I return to this asap!
Thanks again  :D

Hi, Steven and Pamela,
The issues regarding these marks are manifold.
Raised marks seem to appear mainly on  Reich and Rindskopf pieces, the acid etched on many. Yet only this week we have another variant on relief lettering, by an as yet un-identified maker. In this case, are we looking at a copy from a better quality European maker, of the original French design???
Regards,
Marcus
