Glass Trinket Sets / Czech Catalogues Bohemian Glass Website.
« Last post by Jayne on Today at 02:37:37 PM »
I've recently discovered a wonderful collection of Czech glass Catalogues.

I can see that several of our Mystery Trinket Sets will now be able to be identified, and some other queries clarified. Some dates are much earlier than presently recorded.

Hi Sue,
Wow, I just used your wording for searching and it brought up loads - I'm obviously not being precise enough.
Thank you for the link to Pressed Glass - will read with interest.
All the best,
Marie.

Bohemia, Czechoslovakia, Czech Republic, Austria / Franz Welz pinched vase with three extra openings
« Last post by glassobsessed on Today at 08:04:35 AM »
I have seen this shape somewhere before but can't find any examples with a quick search now. Somewhat like the odd pinched together 2 colour (Tango style) jugs this vase has the rim pinched together to form three extra openings, I would hesitate to call them spouts... Struggling to come up with a reasonable name for this form, any ideas?

The decor is named Pastel Spatter and the vase is 16cm tall.

Some information about David Moir here on Scotland's Glass:
https://www.scotlandsglass.co.uk/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=22&Itemid=43

The vase is signed David Q Moir 2006 and stands nearly 12cm tall. Made very much in the manner of Ysart glassware, lovely...

Another recent find, small polished pontil mark, similar pieces can be found in Leslie Jackson's book page 97, dated around 1870, very elegant, well I think so !

There are just three fish Sue, I think ! I'll check later  :)
M, the book mentions Albert Oakden as a former teacher at the Brierley Hill school of art as their artist and designer, not familiar with that name.

That's really lovely.  Does it say in the book who designed it or any further information on it?

Glass / Re: Frosted decanter.

Thanks for thinking of it. I’ve not read the whole thing either and can’t remember how hard I looked in the book previously. I haven’t got anything definitely Harrach to have a close look at. I think some of the abrasive frosting is very fine, if they used a fine abrasive particle.
