Glass / Re: Curious thrift find, Polish?
« Last post by flying free on Today at 10:26:07 PM »
Swedish glasshouse Maleras also used the wording Unikat on the bottom of a vase from Ingeborg Lundin so it might not be specific to German glass.
But I can't help any further except to say it reminds me of Ukranian folk glass from an earlier period in the 20th century.  They were fond of pink and pincered glass but nothing in any of the few and limited  resources I have.

This is one on ebay located in California - different jug great reeded handle and spotted yellow on clear glass jug, same pontil mark, and signed the same way as op's - signature could be designer and maker?

Glass / Re: Unusual trailed glass vase/jug

Hi John
Have just done a quick search for loetz cephalonia and you maybe right. One vase that came up looked to have very similar suface texture, colour and pontil finish. Will have to search some more and take a look at Kralik glass as well.
Thanks for the help,
Keith

That dimpled shape says Art Nouveau and Bohemian to me, the stretched out layer of mica on the surface is reminiscent of Loetz Cephalonia but other makers used it too, Kralik for one.

No. Sorry.

I have found an image of an Erwin Eisch signature from '89, a drinking glass from the "poetry in glass" series.

I tend to look at the glass itself for identity, rather than relying on marks. I'm no good at deciphering handwriting, it looks odd anyway given it has to be executed on a cold glass surface, and they can be added later on by unscrupulous people.

This is a studio piece. It is made by somebody who used a four pronged pontil rod, which is fairly unusual and might help eliminate certain makers.  :)
I have managed to find photos of two Eisch bits I have. The second is from the "poetry in glass" series and it has an applied clear glass, little round handle.

British & Irish Glass / Re: Georgian Cut and Engraved Rummer

Hi,
I like to browse charity shops and car boots looking for old bits of glass. It's amazing what you can occasionally come across, although the trend for "boutique" style charity shops hasn't helped.
Good luck with your future searches,
Keith Mick

Hello Keith Mick, yes it has a ground pontil, it's in perfect condition and rings beautifully. As with many of these glasses the foot would have been made by a less skilled worker and is actually heavy and crude compared to the bowl.

After bothering some friends with a picture of the signatures, the following possible names came up:

E. Fischer & W. Schoch?er (Schochler?)
E Fesclu or Fesdu & Shöd..

Do any of these ring a bell?

Glass / Re: Maybe a Mdina Tortoiseshell Pattern Textured Heavy Base Glass Vase????

Possibly shortly after Harris left?
Around the early-mid '70s, before Said took over, I reckon.

Glass travels very extensively and I'm afraid there is no database of signatures.
