-
I think these are modern Polish, I'll see what I can find...
-
Here you go, not sure if anyone else makes similar:

Thanks for the help i found one in white on ebay too referring to it as Jozefina Glass. Its quite stunning in this blue looks great in sunlight. I like it.

They were also
made sold in the UK, the Heron Glass shop at Ulverston (now closed down) had some in their displays.
Edited as we don't have evidence they were made by Heron, just that they sold them, as Nigel rightly pointed out below. :)

So did Nazeing Glass Works, but it doesn't make 'em Nazeing :o

These are really very lovely CV, but I have quite a laugh looking through the ebay listings....one was listed as a Glass Jellyfish Oil Burner!!
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Amethyst-Clear-Glass-Jellyfish-Shape-Oil-Burner-New-/120752364553
Most are listed as Vintage Art Deco, but I would agree with Wayne, they are definately Polish glass, I like them and they come in the most amazing designs, and are actally quite expensive.
Did you look at the Jozefina web site....there is an enormous variety of shapes and sizes....they are all hand made, so no two are ever quite the same.
Just as a footnote, because our postings have crossed....these are sold in many British stores and glass shops, but I really don't think they are made over here....all my searches in the past (and there have been many!) show them to be Polish.....but I am willing to be proved otherwise.
Hi Anne, :hi: At ine time, the Ulverston shop also sold the little Chinese birds I collect!!

Rosie, given our other conversation about the Heron Glass International label, I'd be wondering if they had imported them from Poland et al except that Ray, who lives in Ulverston and spent a fair bit of time in the shop, was sure in an earlier board post (which I can't find!) they made them there too. Isn't it annoying when you can't find something you know is there?! :)

....and your the Mod :thup: and have a good memory
Now I don't feel bad when I can not find posts either -- including mine :24: :24: which happens often to me. I think I have seen something posted here like this too -- somewhere... :thud:
-
I'm sure I posted one about Jozefina glass as well, and I can't find it either :pb:......are we all of an age? 30 something? :24:
Taking your point though Anne, I do wonder if they started selling other 'giftware' when things stared to get tricky for them.....hope we can find out.

It is quite obviously a comport of sorts. I purchased one near new in 1998 - it was then descibed as "Korean" - but I believe it is Polish probably from Krosno.

I'd say most definitely Polish, and made by a Józefina, Makora, Tarnowiec, Zorza...
-
Thanks ppl i think its safe to say of polish origin
-
Both the Makora and Jozefina websites have items that look very similar. I've just been having a hunt around myself as I bought the attached oil burner a couple of weeks ago as I was sure I'd seen a picture of it on here. Maybe this is the post that other people are referring to that they can't find (I've tried several different search words and not been successful) and this may help prompt a memory?
Apologies about the low quality photo but this was just taken for my records.
Kind regards

Thankyou im almost sure its Polish now and looking like Józefina. I like your burner. I like these im keeping hold of mine it never gets uninteresting to look at and sparkles amazing in sunlight.

There are lots of these on shopGoodwill.com. Not that that helps...
