Topic: Has anyone been able to identify if these vases are bohemian or stourbridge?

I remember the lamp.

I'll try and find it.  But I think that is the piece that Craig found a Czech label for as well?

Re the 'cellophane' vases though -  Boba says in the link to the RubyLane one that it is definitely marked made in Czechoslovakia.
It is still there on the link to RubyLane and it is what we know as a 'cellophane' vase.(no mica, no zigzag feather effect etc,just 'cellophane' effect)

So I would think the Op's belongs in the made in Czechoslovakia category?

Sue, see above and

You weren't thinking of these vases in this thread were you re the Romanian attribution?

  No. I know about those ones too, I've had an interest in them, but never got them mixed up with anything Ysart or cellophane. They've got "that" sort of very shiney irridesence on them which is kind of their defining feature, along with the elongated bubbles with the black in them. They're much thicker glass too.

I'm tending to think that "Cellophane" must be Czech, as you say, but that the combed bits with mica must be something else, (and Romanian) and not the same maker (which had been assumed in the past) at all.

according to this site the vases known on here the GMB as 'cellophane' glass are by Hantich

Magic!
I did not see any in any of the Museums in Poland. 
I would have noticed it, pounced on the name and reported back.
But, finding out about Polish glassmakers isn't easy.
Well done, M.  You win the gmb crown.
This has been a mystery, just to me, for ~ 18 years.

Hadn't you better warn Frank to sit down before he reads it?
Shouldn't this really be a big announcement, in a thread all on its own?

Sue, Hantich were a Bohemian maker.  Or did you mean that there were none on view in the Polish museums anyway and I misunderstand you 

It's good to finally have something/a name isn't it 

Is Frank on this thread?  I posted in two threads so hopefully he will see it.

Hmmm, I hope that source is correct

oh I struggled to find my other post but it is here:

https://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,603.msg379904.html#msg379904

I have asked for that thread to be moved to Czech glass section.

Having translated that site, it looks to say 'probably Hantich' so eek, perhaps not yet definitive.  In fact it is designated with an asterisk so they say that means 'possibly'.  Sorry Sue!

The vase in this link though, definitely has the Made in Czechoslovakia mark on it:

There is some interesting information in this link to ICOM glass review no 2 (2013?) about Hantich Glass on pages 15-19

Thanks, m. I immediately wrote to my brother with the news (he's on hoilday).
Now, he wants a Jonolyth bit with dragonflies. 

I really do think it would be a good idea if this new information and all discussion of it could be brought together and have its own thread, pretty please, kind moderator?
I'm already confused with it being over two.

Yes it perhaps needs it's own thread titled Cellophane glass.  It's only a tiny bit of progress but it's worth keeping a track of it.

I had to put the info on the other one as that is where the Ruby Lane example and most of the discussion (and Frank)  was

[chopin-liszt]

It was me making a mistake about country of origin. 
I read "Položka" as meaning Poland/Polish. It was sitting there on its own in some sort of "title" looking bit.
