Title: Driburg Kristall - copper and glass
Post by: dirk. on August 18, 2012, 05:24:29 PM

First - many thanks to Mr. Baumann, who studied this subject in the first place, pointed me
in this direction and gave some good advice!

Here are some pictures from the Driburg Glasmuseum showing (parts of ) the output of
Driburg Kristall´s glass and copper pieces. Enjoy!

I love the "Glasgerät zum Ausdrucken von Zigaretten" sign - i.e. glass implement for stubbing out cigarettes.

I took care it would be clearly legible in the photograph...   ;)

Lovely collection :)
I like the ones with the long slots in - do they only come in clear glass?

Hi m,
there are some in bubbly green in the third picture from the museum visit.  ;)
Let´s see if I can find some more stuff when the flea-market season´s begun.

Hi guys!

I am a newbie here and this is my first posting.
Just wanted to tell you that i found this topic with the Driburg with copper vases and it really makes me happy to know now, finally, where from my 3 glass/copper vases come from :-)

Here some pics of one of my 3 vases:

Kind regards

Hi Micha and welcome here!  :)
Glad you´ve found an answer. Some of these pop up on ebay.de frequently, but I can´t remember I ever
saw one correctly attributed...  ;D
Nice vase(s) BTW. When you say ´my three´ - does it mean you have the same vase three times or different
pieces?
Curiosity is a BIOS function of most collectors I suppose...  ;)

Hi Micha,

many thanks for the additional photos. I´m undecided about the red one in the middle...
Is there any difference in the quality of the copper collar? Does it perhaps have a seam line
at the back?
A characteristic of the Driburg copper parts is that they are slightly inward curved at the base.
They must have been pressed from a single piece - a technically highly skilled work.
Unfortunately nobody seems to know who made them and the rumour they tend to spread
in the museum about a certain german Metal Working Factory won´t be
repeated here, because a friend of mine managed to disprove it...  ;)

Pictures tend to disappear from online storages after a certain time... Would it be ok for
you if I directly attached them to this thread, please?

Micha
