Glass / Re: Bohemian ??

It's a very long time since I looked into Beykoz glass, so I'm not sure about the cut rim but it could be from Beykoz.

Glass / Re: Bohemian ??

It appears to have a ground and gilded rim which points to it probably being Bohemian. The decoration is unusual and you may find it difficult to attribute a maker.

Another piece I'm sure is Bohemian. An 18" uranium glass necklace, restrung, it has a modern clasp.

Bohemia, Czechoslovakia, Czech Republic, Austria / Bohemian Uranium Opaline Vase
« Last post by NevB on Yesterday at 07:34:38 PM »
This very pretty vase is an unusual shape and size, 20cm. tall, 15cm. diameter. It has a ground rim, surprisingly with no chips, smoothed base and lots of bubbles. I'm sure it is Bohemian but it will be difficult to attribute, I will keep searching.

Glass / Bohemian ??
« Last post by Smitty on January 14, 2026, 08:04:55 PM »
I recently acquired this Dark Ruby glass vase with decorative gilding. My first thoughts was this has to be bohemian. In my research however  I failed to find any example or similarity to this gilded pattern. I thought could this be Italian or possibly Indian?  The gilding is fine and flat to the glass surface, I would be grateful if anyone can come up with any ideas as to who made it. It measures 19cms in height and feels heavy for its size. Thanks for your interest

Murano & Italy Glass / Re: Murano Uranium Sommerso Vase

Thanks flying free, yes I think it may have been boiling water, but it's a bit odd the way it has cracked.

Murano & Italy Glass / Re: Murano Uranium Sommerso Vase

maybe someone poured boiling hot water into it to clean it?  I did that ... before I collected glass.  Cracked a stunning Murano large vase. It's so beautiful I've glued it together.  Although mine was actually cracked all the way through.

Not found any studio pieces for a while so picked this up as I like the design, 8 inches tall, marked to the base, unable to find the pattern as yet.
