Vase:
http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/displayimage.php?pos=-6307Label:
http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/displayimage.php?pos=-6306Tall blown vase with a very high kick-up ("waldglas inspired") ; engraved townscape of Kufstein.
Label saying: J. THURNE (could be one or two letters missing at the end) Kufstein, Tirol.
I could not find Thurne anywhere, could be an engraver or a retailer. Kufstein is the location of the Tiroler Glashütte, taken over by Riedel as their main base ca. 1947.
So inviting speculations please:
- Is this a Tiroler/ Kramsach product from the 1920s/30s or
- Is this a Riedel product engraved locally? or
- is this puppy barking up the wrong tree altogether?
All suggestions welcome.
