Glass / Opaline Vase
« Last post by NevB on Yesterday at 01:23:32 PM »
An unusual opaline vase, I can't find another in this shape, with the frilled rim or similar image.. I thought possibly French but more likely Bohemian, perhaps one of the Haida factories. 9.5" tall, I think the image is a transfer print.

Germany / Brockwitz Gurkenschale
« Last post by NevB on Yesterday at 01:11:15 PM »
A Brockwitz Gurkenschale/Cucumber dish, No. 9034/1, 33x12cm. Shown in the catalogues from 1915 right through to 1936. I would think this is 1930's.

Glass / Is this Murano please. Bought as such.
« Last post by TimelessGlass on Yesterday at 09:07:34 AM »
Hi,
Am unsure as to whether this is Murano or not. Bought as Murano, in the hope it was a genuine piece of art glass.
I want to say Skrdlovice, but the polished pontil doesn't look right?
It appears to be very " New". No base wear as such.
It measures 21cms across, widest point 24cms and 10cms tall
Would really appreciate your thoughts.
Thanks Sharron.

This orange 'pinstripe' (my description) piece  is introduced by the curator in a talk on the glass exhibition as from Franz Welz, as are all the pieces in that picture:

It doesn't have the coloured dekor on it and I've no idea if other makers used this pinstripe obviously. Just interesting.

Thanks.

My Josephinenhutte Vineta-Kristall vase is heavy and feels like a piece of Ikora.  Firepolished rim etc etc.  In fact sits really well with my 20s/30s French internally decorated glass and also all my Ikora pieces. 
It is nothing like any of the Bohemian glass 'cut at the rim' I have in what I call 'tango' dekors from Welz, or Kralik/Steinwald/Ruckl/Tomschick? - nothing like them at all. 

Interested to check with you re the stripes because I have a piece with these stripes on. It's a different base colour and different spatter colour . It also has an original Welz label.  It's a part of a set and one of the other pieces also has a Welz label.
It looks like this stripe effect:

Does  yours have a very fine almost transparent white layer as one of the internal layers inside, with the blue striped layer over it externally? My pieces in this set have this.


I have another piece different colour also with this pinstripe background dekor but the coloured dekor on it isn't a spatter effect. It  doesn't have the fine transparent white layer but it's the pinstripe background dekor in a different colour again. No label on that though.
