I've been out of action recently (continuing family health problems) so apologies for my lack of comment on various other threads.
I've just posted a new article - with more to come when time allows. It is more information on Carnival Glass from Poland. This time, another maker: Zabkowice (Zombkowice). More Carnival mysteries solved.

Hi Glen
Great piece of research, the Hodgson conection seems to be a coincidence. Hope all are well soon.

Tony - yes, isn't the name a splendid coincidence? :) In fact the UK Hodgsons mentioned it too, and wondered if they might be related to you :D Thanks for the kind words too.
Della - sincere thanks for your constant support.

PS have you seen my new topic " LAROC Dressing table set Czech-Slovakia "

Wow! Glen, another fascinating article, thank you. And what a wonderful jardiniere... I love it. Is this something that was made in non-Carnival glass as well?
Sorry to hear that the family health problems persist, it is hard to cope with, but especially at times such as Xmas/New Year. Hope that 2007 is a better year for you all.

Hi Glen,
Best wishes to you and Steve. Don't feel obliged to answer - everyone will understand.
It's marvellous that you've worked out the Beverly Crystal conundrum after all these years. So did Zabkowice must have made those intaglio Cupid and Diana the Huntress patterns?
I've got another piece I must dig out to show you. It's got the intaglio device and a similar rim, but the effect has been ruined with a matt green enamel over the pattern.
Take care and take all the time you need. You, Steve and your family are in my thoughts.

Just another thought - we probably need an addition to the Glassworks Pronounciation Guide for Zabkowice and Hortensja.

Good thinking Cathy, if someone would like to explain how they sound I'll them to the list. :)

:hug: Glen - I am sorry to hear about your family health problems.
Thank you for another great article and fabulous pictures.
Hope the New Year brings you much happiness.

I'm so grateful to everyone for the support and kind comments. Thank you so much (it means such a lot to me).
I need to answer the glass questions here:
Anne - I would be fairly sure that the jardiniere was made in other types of glass too.
Cathy - the $24,000 question certainly centres on who made Diana and the Cupids. It is very possible that it was Zabkowice. But Hortnesja are still in the frame (my money is on Zabkowice though). And it could even be another Polish maker that we haven't yet uncovered. Tony has some other intaglio based pieces too (see the Hortnesja thread) that I am not able to positively atribute yet, too. I am sure there is a lot more to discover about the Polish output - and I think by this time next year we will be a lot further forward.
Tony - if you could email me (get the addy off my HomePage) I will pass on your contact details to John Hodgson. Also, you mentioned the Laroc pieces. Yes, I looked at them and was enthralled. I don't have any useful comments to add, though, beyond "it rings a faint bell".
-
Big hugs and very best wishes to you and your family from me too. Congratulations on another bit of excellent research.

Is that the same as Zawiercie S.A. founded in 1884 by Reich & Co? Sorry my Polish is non existent. I have their current catalogue in front of me having just ordered some glass from them!
-
No, I don't think it is the same company.
Zabkowice (Zambowice) stopped trading (I believe) a couple of years ago. I did correspond with them just before they closed (not realising their imminent demise).
And Christine - thank you so much.
