Title: Coralene Glass Vase
Post by: dinklepip on July 31, 2011, 06:16:55 PM

Found this the other day and after reading up a little that Coralene glass originated in Germany but was then exported in large volumes from Bohemia and also made in the US.  Any ideas as to origin of this one please

Doesn't seem to be original Coralene (which I thought was fired on) as there are gaps where some of the beads are missing, suggesting "stuck on beads".

I do not believe Coralene is fired on. It is not uncommon to find pieces with portions of the beading missing. I believe the Japanese also produced a fair amount of Coralene.....

Coralene is either fired on or glued on I believe. Firing on would only require it to be sprinkled/placed on a coloured or clear enamel before reheating to the necessary temperature, like overshot. It's the glued on stuff that falls off in the main. Gluing is the cheaper process though.
