Title: identification glass Holmegaard ??
Post by: melvins1 on January 15, 2023, 07:17:40 AM

Hello to all. I am in possession of this massive glass cup weighing over three kilos. I thought it was Holmegaard but not at all. Would it be Murano, Flygsfors or others

I doubt Holmegaard. Holmegaard usualy singn their peaces, but what makes me doubtfull as well is the color. This is a very unusual color for Holmegaard. I would think into Czecheslowakia direction.

It appears to be Alexandrite/Neodymium glass, does it change colour under different light sources? A quick search online shows it could be Murano, Czech or maybe even Sevres.

Thank you very much for these clarifications. the Czech Republic does not often sign its glassware, I remember that

To check for neodymium glass you will need a fluorescent light source - either the old fashioned strip or tube lights or one of the early 'low energy' light bulbs that have now been superseded by led bulbs.

A recent topic may be worth checking also:

It's definitely not Holmegaard or Flygsfors - I doubt Scandinavian.
