Topic: Art Deco glass lady flower frog most unusual

Thanks Meegs for the attribution.

Nigel,  so far I haven't seen the frog on the rocks in any other colours. The Preening Duck however, I've seen in amber as well as green.
I agreed with you saying that the frog with the tall ladies shouldn't be matched with the pelikan bowl, although I believed that both pieces could be made by the same maker. The frog with the birds (shown at Sue's website) would probably be more accurate to match with this Pelikan / storks?? bowl, but again, the frog with the birds looks more like a swallows instead pelicans / storks??

Back to your lovely lady.....the round-ish base where the lady stands kind of reminded me also of the Egyptian lady candlesticks, though unknown maker, I do believe they are Czechoslovakian made, and most likely Libochovice.

Cheers

Snap! When I saw the mound of flowers that is just what I thought regarding the Egyptian sets! I think it's so exciting when glass turns up needing identification and thansk to some lovely people on this board who put a lot of work in I'm so grateful.
I have seen the duck in amber(beautiful) but never green...wow that would look good! I'm a green kind of guy!
By the way Brenton about 30 mins ago my Libochovice waves and gulls bowl arrived....its stunning!

Brenton,
funny you should mention the base of Nige's lady resembling the base of the Egyptian lady candlesticks as when I first read this post that was also my thought and I went and compared the photos posted to the candlestick.
The candle stick base although similar in shape and design has quite a different motif on the hemispherical base mostly small oval leaves with the odd flower and a couple of larger leaves thrown in where Nige's frog appears to be more flowers and less leaves!

Mige you beat me to it I was still typing when your response was posted.

Hi Meegs
Yes you are bang on.The mound on my lady has all flowers and you are right in what you say about the Egyptian candlesticks.
There still could be some connection? There are still Libochovice pieces out there I believe still need identifying....and some Mueller pieces aswell that need research.
Pamelas website is absolutely fantastic for identification as well as amazing photos....I love Sues gorgeous site aswell and pressglas korrenspondez is a minefield of info!

Nige,
I know Pamela's wonderful site, but am unfamiliar with Sues.
Could you supply a link please for Sues site.

Hi Meegs

You can type Black Poppy glass on google, and you'll see this lovely site

Nigel, the lady and the bowl though with different motifs, they do looked great together...well done  :hiclp

Thank-you Brenton.
I know the site but didn't associate the name Sue with it.

Thanks Brenton!
Yes I think for now she can stay in that bowl next to my tall Riedel lady as she is frosted glass.I like to try and keep colours together if possible.
Will now have to try and find the bowl in amber and green for my other ladies.
