Title: Help with ID and maker please
Post by: suea on March 17, 2007, 03:39:09 AM

Hi Everyone

I have just bought a rather strange piece of old glass that I need a hand with. It is amber cased onto a green not unlike jadeite. This shows as jadeite in the neckbut a more emerald colour through the amber. Inside the green are fairly large pieces of gold mica. It is very Nouveau in shape but I am just stuck at that point! Can anyone assist me please? It is 12 3/4" high.

Have you thought of Czech?
The fact that was mold made and the feet made me think in that direction.

Hi Cathy, Pamela and Javier

Nice to be welcomed - thank you!

I had though of Czech but I have no good reference books for this sort of glass and other friends suggested that I ask here. It is just a fascinating piece and I have not seen anything quite like it before.
many thanks for the replies.

Cheers
