Wonderful! Thanks for sharing these beautiful pieces. That piece by Jonkvrouwe (Lady) Cornélie Caroline "Cox" van Asch van Wijck has been on my "wish list" for decades!

Thank you, she is really a beauty ;-)
Wow! That first beauty has a similar look to Ken Art.

I am certain that the original design of this lady was made by Jules Vermeire in 1929!
Absolutely. It just struck me how similar they were.
Season's Greetings to you and Yours, Bert!
i wish you the same Kevin!
Hi Bert, I discovered your photo of the art glass deco profile of a woman and read your comment, "I am certain that the original design of this lady was made by Jules Vermeire in 1929!" Thanks so much for sharing that information. Do your own this piece? I collect Kent Art Ware made by Moriyama in Japan during the 20's and 30's. I have a KentArtWare.com website devoted to it . They obviously copied this piece in ceramic as bookends. Kind regards, Dave
Hello Dave
Yes i own this glass piece made in the Leerdam glassfactory and it is worth about
€ 4.000,-. Thats a lot more than the copys made by KentArt:-)
You can find more pieces on my website http://www.velsenaardewerk.nl and than the map Leerdam glass.
Best regards
Bert
