Hi Ekimp

Label says Cristallglas (no h after the C) but even so that's a weird spelling.  I would have thought it should have been Kristall with a K.  Weird.

Glass / Re: Art Deco green vase red 'flame' splotches - Schneider
« Last post by flying free on Today at 07:05:52 PM »
Thanks John.  Is it the same as the vase and bowl though? It appears to be the same colours and spatter pattern but they appear to have more defined stripes on the blue body of the piece but perhaps that is the photography blurring yours somewhat?
Does it have a cut rim?
Interesting - perhaps Bohemian Glass.org can match your shape to Tomschick as it's quite unusual.

They are a gorgeous blue but I don't think they look anything like the Vineta-Kristall range in the Dr Arthur Traube photographs or the Zelasko book photographs that I can see or my vase for that matter.  My vase and I believe the other pieces in the range have firepolished rims and pontil marks.

A couple of more images to get the feel…The hunting garb is a bit older than 1920 I think ?,although that may not matter for the date ?

Glass / Enamelled bubbly glass vase /spittoon ??
« Last post by bat20 on Today at 03:23:14 PM »
Hi ,this vase is 115 mmin height with a polished pontil and a lot of wear on the base .It’s a soda glass body with random encased bubbles.The hunting scene looks well done and I’ve come across a similar styled pieces on line with unrealistic prices and described as 1930’s Bohemian,the glass reminds me of old dump weights …any thoughts thanks .

Scandinavian Glass / How to Tell Real Holmegaard Pigs From Fakes
« Last post by TrikiaBarnez on Today at 02:45:09 PM »
Hello,

I've been collecting glass pigs for a while. Up until recently, my choices were nothing special - just what I like! - But I've recently become interested in, among other specific items, Holmegaard pigs.

I see endless listings for "Rare Holmegaard Pig" and I'm not particularly interested in rarity, but I would like to know how to tell a fake from a genuine Holmegaard. One listing in particular caught my eye recently because it is larger than the two sizes I normally see, and because I have never seen one before I am particularly suspicious!

Thank you for directing me to any resources - I appreciate your help.

Anthony Stern? Can't say the glass looks much like his work to my eye but I don't know it well.

Another example of that decor, from memory this one about 20cm tall.

A somewhat crudely engraved deer/stag and landscape. Looks slightly better in the flesh…but not much. Label says “Zeller Christallglas Handgeschliffen handmade in Austria”. Fire polished rim, no pontil mark, 6cm tall.

Murano & Italy Glass / Mandruzxato Perfume Bottle
« Last post by ardy on Today at 02:05:32 AM »
I will add this to my collection of perfume bottles. He is not one of my favourites, but good Murano is getting harder to find at a reasonable price.
