Topic: Origin of Cased glass pitcher

[cutglass7273]

Greetings....I believe this pitcher may be Bohemian in origin.  Would like to confirm this along with age and maker.

Thanks....Mark USA   I collect in American Brilliant Cut Glass  1876-1916.

Hi Mark & welcome to the Board. Obviously I am also from the U.S. & even with 38 years of babbling in glass cannot match the European talent here. I do though suspect you are in all probability on the right track with Behemian...the who part though may be difficult...I would suspect a timeline of anywhere from late 1880s to maybe 1910. Wish I could help more, but I am sure others will jump in with better than I have to offer.

I envy you that you can tell the different ABP companies & designs. I never mastered that even though I have the Boggess, the Evers & the Corning Farrar/Spliiman references.  Just last week I picked up a tankard the size of a small car that the shop thought it was Clark, but I was not convinced...bought it anyway just in case. Thought it may be Bergen. Who knows?  Ken

I agree with Ken. The designs look typically Bohemian

Thanks for the info Ken.   Cut glass is a pain most of the time in trying to determine the maker, pattern, etc.  Trying to find a signature is also difficult.  Anyhow, thanks again.....Mark   Is this the proper way to reply?
