Topic: ????? lamp base for Borske Sklo Olives hood

[Paul S.]

I'd like to see the (presumably) metal body that partners this small hood - in fact I would also like to own the lower half   Will someone please point me in the right direction to find an illustration, which will no doubt be in a Borske catalogue for the late 1950's - 1960's.  The height of the hood is 115mm/4.5 inches.   All replies appreciated, and my thanks for looking.

Sorry, just realized I'm probably showing the hood upside down

That's okay. Standing on one's head is said to be invigorating, but it just made me dizzy

My Moderator's wand can rescue t'other Anne from the dizzies by adding a copy of the pic the other way up. :thup: Voila!  :usd:

[Paul S.]

thanks Anne, but now I feel that I'm suffering from weightlessness   :usd:

Looking from up or down, this piece is not Borské sklo and not Czech/Czechoslovakian origin

Perhaps german then. Moulded designs were e.g. made by Joska and Horhusen glassworks. The colour wouldn´t be
unusual for german 60´s glass either.

How did you do that? Was it magic?  :ooh:

Ha, Ha, It's easy to create - Google upside down text (you can also do back to front).  You go to a web site - type what you want into the box and then copy the text where-ever you fancy.  IME you can't do some capital letters though.

In explanation I understand that it maps the letters you type to system generated font shapes that any PC should be able to reproduce.
