Seriously though... I need more information on this Czech/German producer. Almost everything is deco tango and cased with enamel applications. I have revisited the enamel pieces with the theory that the same blanks were used by many glass decorators, Kolek seems to be the name of this company that sold these glass pieces as their own.

hahaha... marty, i remember when everything czech was thought to be moser, i guess its back in style. this doesn't seem to me to be related to anything moser because of the style of the enamel and the quality of the glass (poor)...and as for WW, i have never seen so much name dropping just to sell a piece swap meet glass.
it does look good in a case and is affordable so who am i to poke fun at it.
you two are too funny!!!!!!!!!!
Jericho - did you ever find out anything about this Kolek character?
my thought was a glass refinery that just enameled the generic blanks of tango.
