Title: iridescent vase with black enamel decoration ID?
Post by: cpccpc on August 29, 2009, 04:32:32 PM

This lovely shaed vase looks very Wiener Werkstatt to me. But I haven't been able to identify where it was made and when. Any help?

IMHO = in my humble opinion

It's nice to see your glass, but it was be much more useful long term if you use the attachment option on the board. If you delete or move your photos, then we have words but no pictures to match, which devalues the reference value of the board.

Dear Craig,
you should have seen me searching google for the Czech glass factory with the name IMHO... :chky:  ;D

do you have any idea which Czech factory/designer might have created the vase??

as for the attachment problem I have received advice from glass messages as to how I might overcome my problem of producing images with too many bits for the attachment but have not managed the technicalities...

thanks

christian

There were numerous Czech factories, most of their output remains a mystery.

Christine is right. the factory for this one may never be known. there were at times huge numbers of small houses that we will probably never know much if anything about. We are just now beginning to understand the output of Kralik companies and Rindskopf,and they were among the larger and longer running houses.
