Title: Who were Cechy Neid?
Post by: chasdevlin on June 03, 2019, 11:00:03 PM

I've been trying to find more information about tango glass. Now we know this style was developed initially by Loetz before being produced by a whole range of Bohemian glassmakers.
I recently came across the below site and it interested me they have examples of tango glass, particularly ones with illustrations on them, similar to pieces I own. They attribute it, if I've read the site correctly, to Cechy Neid. However I can find very little about them on the net beyond this particular site.
Anyone know anything about them or have some thoughts on this generally?

I think that Čechy NEID means Bohemian unidentified (Čechy = Bohemian, and neid is abbreviation of neidentifikovatelný = unidentifiable) rather than being the name of a company itself.

Thanks -that makes sense. I did wonder if it was something like that. I put the phrase into Czech-English translator and it didn't come up with anything which was why I thought it might be a company or town. Thanks again.
