Topic: Is this asymmetrical small vase by Gangkofner?

Hi Oliver
Did you manage to get any further with this design?

Hi Dirk,
not yet, not enough time, just preparing an exibition about Hessenglas and the Gablonzer-industry in the Taunus region.
But next week I meet the former administrator of Hessenglas-Pattern-books; I keep this topic on my mind and the picture
of the champagne-coloured vase with me.

As far as I can remember, it was the company Lux-Glass from Austria, who produced also in Gangkofner style. By mistake I bought a
perfume bottle which I believed to be from Gangkofner/Hessenglas. The comparison to the Hessenglas-Pieces tought me better; there were only slightest
differences in shape; even the amethyst-colour of HG was almost reached. I was pretty much surprised, as you can imagine.  :ho: I searched a little at the sellers
reviews and finally found the second atomizer of a vanity set which was marked by "Lux-Glass". I wouldn´t be surprised, if LUX also produced those vases, in fact Michaels vase was found in Austria too. So far Lux was only known to me as a producer of fine crystal in venetian style...

Maybe next week, we know more. I keep on tracking, I promise...

Thanks for the detailed info, Oliver! Lux Glas is indeed a surprise... I´d never had thought
of them as a possible maker.

p.s.: There´s no envelope icon in your profile. Would you mind sending me a pm?
