Title: Vase with applied drips and rigaree. Italian? Bohemian?
Post by: shandiane78 on February 28, 2008, 07:26:09 PM

This has a couple of issues (missing segments of drip), but I was really taken with it, and the price seemed right, so...What do you think?! It reminds me of Murano glass by Vittorio Zecchin, but that's probably wishful thinking! Does anyone think it's even Italian, or could it be Bohemian?

Just wanted to update...It has been suggested in another forum that this is Theresienthal, circa 1880-1890.

Well,

it looks like it could be Theresienthal. But in the old catalogues i republished in my book "Roemer aus Theresienthal, Band I" this vase is not shown.
IMHO the shape could be Theresienthal, but glassworks in Köln-Ehrenfeld, Buchenau, .... made similar vessels. And: The colour of your vase is a little different from the colours Theresienthal used.
If you are interested to learn more about Theresienthal, please visit my website

Where can I find the other forum?

Stephan, thanks so much for your expertise! Your site is wonderful. Here is the other thread discussing this vase:

http://forums.ebay.com/db2/thread.jspa?messageID=1012141207&forumID=75&x#1012141207

It was suggested that I contact the company, so I have done so. No reply yet, but I am hopeful.

Thanks again!

Shannon,

i visited the other forum.
You can ask the people at Theresienthal, but they are not very familiar with the production of their glassworks around 1900 . Sometimes they ask me to tell them something about their former times.
Their collection of old samples and catalogues was around 1970 separated by the former owner of Theresienthal, Max Gangkofner, and put into a museum at the same location. This glassmuseum is a wonderful place to visit, but it doesn`t belong to the glassworks since in the early 1980ties Max Gangkofner sold the glassworks but kept the museum. For more than 25 years museum and glassworks went their own way and there wasn`t much communication between them. But since a couple of month it looks as if times are changing again and glassworks and museum will be able to work together :hiclp:!

Regards

Stephan

I know this thread is quite old, but I never did hear back from the company, so I'm bumping in hopes of more information. Do you feel that it's definitely German? Or could it be Bohemian, or even Italian? Thanks!
