    12" Tall
    Orange black and white on the inside.
    Given to me from a friend who had it in her garage because she really didn't like it. I don't think she liked the color.
    It has white paint all over it and the inside is really stained.

    My question is what will remove the stains on the inside????

      Ruckczglass thank you for the tips on cleaning.
      Hope I can get it clean.
      I read where some clean their glass with 409.....is that a good idea on colored or frosted glass items????

      The biggest problem with frosted glass is as you clean it the frosting gets polished, so you end up with shiny streaks on it.
      I find that glass like this cleans up with a slightly caustic mix - so maybe a soak in water with a bit of dishwasher powder. The inside won't be such a problem as it has not been etched. Some soapy water and rice grains might help there, and a bottle brush.
      Great vase BTW!

      I would never clean glass with 409. Before trying anything chemical or caustic, use a gentle method and work up. There are several tutorials on the Interwebz. Good luck! :)

      Anne's advice when asked how do I know what I am collecting is right...

      you need a Tango buddy. I have several. And you tend to gravitate to the good ones. I am fortunate. I was looking, he found me...then I started to read, read and read again and if you can afford it buy heaps of books with detail pictures and then research...and read what is written in here and buy and read, read, read again and then but heaps of books...am I becomming clear?

      You cannot become a Master over night but you can meet Masters online...and what a better place...I really only touch 1900 plus Tango through to end of the 20's and then I ventured out to before on Czech glass, applied etc etc etc...

      Sadly when I objected to some major nastiness in here I deleted most of my posts. Even sadder was the comments I got from the Masters about my items.

      Advice. Buy what you like. Buy what looks good. Buy the good colour with the beautiful applied cobalts and amerthysts...save your pennies and get some stand out pieces. Not everything Loetz is great in Tango. And not everything has a maker whose first name is Michael. If he made 1 millionth of the stuff attributed to him, he still be doing it now...lol....

      Don't get ripped off, try and pay good prices. Most people on ebay have no idea what they are selling so always offer lower.

      Look too for unusual colours pinks, greens, whites...but remember that the true Tando colours were red/orange/yellow and green with black....

      Enjoy....

      And you know what I still dont really know too much but with each year you start to feel a bit more confident and get a gut instinct...

      Anne
