Hello! I'm from Canada, near Montreal...I have a glass vase, 26 cm high, that I inherited from my parents...underneath the vase, the writing says CMS Krasno...the vase colours are coral and dark brown...it's been in on a table in the living room for at least 60 years (I live in my parents' house since they passed away). It was given to my father as a gift by Eastern European immigrants that were his patients (he was a doctor) in the early fifties...I checked the name and went on the Internet and your name popped up...I was wondering if you had more information about the name Krasno...I was going to phone an auction house but I wanted to try to know more about that vase...
Hope to hear from you...
Thank you
Pierre

Hi Pierre,
welcome to the board!
The description of your vase sounds intriguing, maybe it would be possible for you to post a picture?
Most of the information on glass production at CMS / Krasno in the 1930s-40s I am aware of can be found in the links in my opening post.
Some more pictures:

Hello Michael,
Thank you for answering me...I tried to send a photograph of my vase taken with my IPad but it doesn't seem to work...could I send it to your email? If not, I looked closely at the two links that you put and the second one, vejrostova-reich -1940.pdf, at page Pressglass-Korrespondenz 20011-4/2012-1, the second row, the first one on the left, 40/386/atel 106, 25x180mm, with brown fishes, is nearly exactly like mine...

Photos added to Pierre's post and this part split off to form a new topic from http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,56183.0.html so we can discuss the vase. :)

Thank you Anne! :-*
Pierre, your vase is lovely, I have never seen this particular model before apart from the drawings in the catalogue.
Reich made a whole range of cameo glass pieces in the 1930s.
