Just stumbled across this site while doing a little research for a Questers presentation. I'm really a pottery person, but when you find a beautiful piece of glass, well, you just have to get it. I don't spend a lot on glass, but find some really nice pieces that no one knows what they are, me included. I'll be happy to answer questions or show more pictures if you see something interesting, but I probably know the least of anyone on this site.

Would be great if you posted your "non-collection" pieces individually with a description. You will find great help here on this site attaching identifications to the pieces you dont know origin or maker.
Thanks, will work on that. The Ink or Perfumeis the only individual one, not sure what it is used for but wonder if it is Loetz?
Not Loetz. Looks more like an oil lamp, missing the wick. I do see some Loetz on the top shelf in photo #2 though. A couple of cobalt papillons.
Welcome to CW, nice to see someone else from DSM on here! I am Kyle, you came out to my dads flea market earlier this year to look at some czech pottery and birds.
I look forward to some of your future posts. There isn't much on here about czech pottery so hopefully you will be able to educate some of us a little more on the subject :).
Those papillon pieces are very nice indeed, too bad about the broken butterfly(saw it on your site before) but still a great piece.
