Title: Vase/jug and matching handkerchief vase with almost a beige animal skin design?
Post by: retromental on October 13, 2013, 07:39:24 PM

Hi everyone, this is my first post so id like to just say hello. These two glass items here are not my usual thing (i really like iridescent glass and glass birds/animals) But i thought they were quite unusual and the price was fair i though. I was just interested if anyone knows anything about these? possible age or where they may have come from? These is no markings i can see. I usually go for purples, blues and reds in glass if not iridescent but i though these would make a nice change..I just like them. 

The jug has a hole in the back maybe this gives some clues? it is 31cm tall and weighs just shy of 1.5KG

The handkerchief vase is 22cm tall at the highest point, 20cm wide and weighs just over 1KG

Welcome to the GMB  :)

Jozefina Krosno, would be my guess for these, very similar to the ones in the following links:

I've had an oil burner in this pattern with a Jozefina label. Don't think this is a current pattern tho
