Title: Beautiful acid etched fox - help with ID please!
Post by: peejyweejy on November 08, 2009, 04:36:29 PM

I have had this beautiful compote? for a number of years and never been able to ID it - any ideas on maker and/or country of origin - please?

Sorry for bumping this up - I have researched it a little and think it may be early Bohemia Crystal, can anyone confirm or not, as the case may be.

No idea of origin I'm afraid, but your fox has been wheel engraved, not acid etched - you can see the tool marks in the close-up.

Hi Steven - I think it may be a bit of both - I did see what looked like wheel engraving, but the lighte parts look for "acidy" Should I see if I can get a Macro of it?
