I recently added this basket to my small collection of thorn glass. I found this one very unusual because of the stamp being on the inside of the basket instead of the outside. It is a little hard to make out but I believe instead of it saying made in Czechoslavakia it reads A & S or A & G in Czechoslavakia...You be the judge. I will attempt to get a better shot in the morning when the lighting is better. But for now I would love some feedback as to who made this beautiful piece of glass...Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

WOW I REALLY LOVE THIS :) you really described this to a "T"!!!!!! stunning:)
Thanks Sean. Reminds me PC the Tango glass that they made in the early 1900. I think this is newer than that though. But not positive. Thanks for the love.
your very welcome Jerrod :) this does reminds me of that Tango glass as well:) i think early 1900:)
I think the A&S combo is actually "made in / czechoslovakia" JayHow.
Hey JayHow, I'm pretty sure your basket is represented on page 23 of the West Virginia Museum of American Glass, Monograph Number 121. It's a reprint advertisement for Butler Brothers Catalog from October 1930.
Illustration reads as follows:
6 Styles, 6-1/2" high - aver. 5 to 6 inches diam. - three styles mottled green red & orange - three solid red blue and green - fluted and crimped shapes w rustic crystal handles.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for the great information charcoal...is there a website that I can find the information you mentioned here? I would be very interested in reading more on this line of baskets. thanks for your input. I did try to call yesterday but got no answer. Hope all is well. tell the misses I said hello and someone please call me when time permits. thanks again
Hey JayHow, I look forward to finally speaking with you. Monograph 121 appears to be out of stock but if you see item number 370595585300, Monograph 12, you will have the one to ask. Monograph 12 is very thick and also a great reference but all 1900.
This is a great example is so many ways for me. Never seen a basket with (pointy) hobnail that is marked made in Czechoslovakia. Even the stamp is intriguing, because it is on the inside of the bowl and not on the bottom of the vase which is commonly found. With out a doubt, this is a Bohemian Czech Art Deco Export. The thorn handle has been produced on baskets since the 1890's. Chances are there is more colours in the same shape, but there is other vase shapes to be found in the same colour variation. Love it and it's a Great find, Jay!
Hey JayHow, Were you able to land a copy of Monograph 121? There are some clippings from 121 posted on cw including this one by czechman. You will also see that you're not the only glass researcher without a copy.

you can say that again charcoal! lmao
great basket jayhow..that mark is great!
charcoal, I was not able to secure the copy of the monograph, funds are too tight around this time of the month, being on a fixed income definely is a definetive downfall to collecting glass.:)
Thanks for the comments czechman, it is a GREAT mark, wish I could find more information on why it was placed on the inside versus the bottom like normally found. Will keep looking for information, but so far, its a slow go.
Hey JayHow, I know what you mean and wish we had an extra copy to send you. I'm no expert but I feel that Monograph 121 is an essential Czech glass reference. I use mine daily and don't understand how some Czech glass experts get around not having it? There must be a similar reference guide or catalog somewhere that most of us are unaware of?
My appologies to all that have shown me LOVE on this great czech thorn basket. So let me say thanks to ALL of you that have stopped by to take a look. IT IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!
