  1. I have a Persica with the same decor as the marmorierte's.
  2. lOOK AT THE OTHERS. iN TERMS OF THAT PARTICULAR hOSCH CATALOG. I HAVE BEEN MORE THAN LUCKY.
  3. nOW I NEED THE PROVERBIAL CANDLESTICKS (AGH), BUT ONLY IF THEY ARE ENAMELED. AND REMEMBER: BUTLER BROTHERS ALSO REACHED TEXAS . . . .
  4. THERE IS AT LEAST ONE OTHER SHAPE FOR THIS DECOR, AND ALSO AN ALTERNATE DECOR, ALL 13". I AM ACTUALLY LOOKING FOR A 6" IN THIS COLOR.
  5. i have a Tiffin owl lamp . . . .
  6. ZELASKO CALLS IT HECKERT, BUT THEN . . . THIS IS VERY CLOSE TO WHAT I CALL PK "HARLEQUIN"
  7. Awesome! I really ought to post more of my owl collection (which even includes several inkwells!)
  8. I thought Harrach blanks were routinely decorated by other companies. Could this be "Atlas"?
  9. YOU MEAN THE STIRRUP VASE? IT DOES INDEED STICK OUT LIKE A SORE THUMB! THE OTHERS FORM A HARMONIOUS ART NOUVEAU WHOLE.
  10. I can hardly wait! Send the stuff to my glass list as well. You are on it, aren't you?
  11. Interesting, for that bowl was my first Urchin piece and I have kept it to this day.
  12. That's the one. That stand has been multipurpose, for most of my large bowls fit in it. By the way, there is one at the Passau Museum.
  13. This is one of my favorite decors. I recall that I gave mine away on consignment, for I had nowhere to put it. The dealer called to ask me to pick it up, and when I got to the store he had placed it...
  14. Well, it is a sad Japonisme piece, but . . .
  15. Hate it. Old and rare does not mean pleasing to my eye (Ha!).
  16. Funny I just moved my collection (20 pieces) higher on my shelves so no one will be tempted . . . . In Arwas' Liberty Style, the last picture is all about Loetz miniatures, but it includes some 4" va...
  17. Tom Dugan was capitalizing on the current archeological and cultural fashions of the time, and those were marketing terms. The books make it clear that the names given to Dugan glass were arbitrary a...
  18. I'd say old Poshinger. That deep blue is typical of the company.
  19. I'd rather not be a "jack of all trades". I know what I like and I can afford at this sad point of my life (retired, old, ill)--. So I say, Czech. If imperial or Dugan, not Carnival.
  20. In fact, my mother colllected 50's Italian (which I hate to this day) and Swedish Flygsfors, which I loved, but I gave my collection of miniatures to my sister. Once I started on glass, I went from A...
  21. And I just published another article on Dugan in "Art Glass Now" the journal of the West Virginia Museum of American Glass, Winter 2012.
  22. http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/64195-dugan-art-glass-iv-venetian There. I have posts on Dugans of every type.
  23. All of yours are Pompeian. Venetian is just plain frit, no optic pattern. I'll post something on them (if I haven't already). Pompeian and "Japanese" were used interchangeably in the Dugan advertis...
  24. I bet the blank is Loetz, but the decor was applied by someone else--I go with Heckert.
  25. I have a feeling the decoration comes from the same refiner(s). My bottle is Rubin Matte and my ewer Creta chiselé (I call it melon rind)
  26. Welcome to the club! I went through mine with my camera on hand, and I have read it backwards and forwards more than three times. But, the more pairs of eyes we have focused on it, the more we will...
  27. Some are, as you probably have noticed, much redder than others. There are some that are almost orange, so I have ended with two of each!
  28. The line is called Pompeian. I just had an article published in Art Glass Now on it. Check out my article on David Doty's Carnival glass webpage, comparing Czech and Dugan!
  29. http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/32849-rindskopf-grenada-a-riot-in-red
  30. I HAVE NOT SEEN ANOTHER ONE IN THE ENTIRE TIME I HAVE COLLECTED CZECH GLASS. THE NAME "PLUTO" DOES NOT EVOKE PLEASANT IMAGES. IT MEANS "RICHES", AS IN PLUTO/CRAT, BUT IT IS ALSO THE ROMAN NAME FOR H...
  31. I JUST GOT IT. LOUSY DESIGN. THE HANDLES ARE SO SMALL NO HAND WILL FIT. YOU HAVE TO GRAB IT BY THE NECK! AND THAT IS DEFINITELY NOT A DUCK BILL.
  32. Fascinating. I definitely have to read the back of the book. As for stripes on clear . . . . why not?
  33. Ok. Explain what you use. I love the fact there is no shadow. What are you using, a light box underneath?
  34. I am almost sure they are Kralik or PK.
  35. I apologize. This vase does not have thorns. I must have had another recent acquisition in mind.
  36. THE FIRST IS ACTUALLY A PICTURE OF #50 IN VASELINE CRACKLE GLASS. UNCANNY.
  37. i HAVE MY RECENT ONE IN GREEN SPATTER WHERE IT IS THE FIRST THING I SEE IN THE MORNING!
  38. In fact, I have a companion three-sided vase on a metal frame.
  39. And Kralik. I have several from this line, and some of them have a straight Czechoslovakia mark.
  40. OK. THIS HAS ME TOTALLY FLABBERGASTED, BECAUSE I ALSO HAVE TANGO PUNCHED HANDLE VASES. IT COULD MEAN SEVERAL THINGS. 1. A KRALIK EMPLOYEE WORKING FOR RINDSKOPF, AND MAKING WHAT HE KNEW BEST. 2. ...
  41. Well, research does have some unexpected surp[rises! On page 203 of Stefania Zelasko's Hecert book, pic. 354, I found a picture of this pitcher PLUS the design drawing. Another Heckert.
  42. Your wish is my command. Thank God I have the pictures!
  43. THE FIRST ONE IS MY ONLY EXAMPLE OF HECKERT CRACKLE. I HAVE NEVER FOUND ANOTHER. 1.3.4 ARE SHAPE #50, FOUND ON PAGE 190 (I DID FIND THE BOK) . I HAVE FOUR IN THE 12" SIZE AND ANOTHER 14" GREEN.
  44. AND YOU SHOULD SEE MY LONE EXAMPLE OF HECKERT CRACKLE. DO YOU HAVE ANY RINDSKOPF CRACKLE? HEY, THAT'S A PICTURES!!!!!!
  45. GOT NEWS: STAFANIA ZELASKO CLASSIFIES 1 AND 3 AS OTTO THAMM'S DESIGNS FOR HECKERT IN HER NEW VERY MESSY BOOK ON THE COMPANY. ANOTHER POSSIBLE CHANGE OF PARADIGM?
  46. Let's be honest. Most of the reproductions of the designs are so light and small as to be useless. I can't figure the numbers even with the most powerful magnifying glass. The book is so user-unfrie...
  47. Mike, I am going to photograph EVERY design in the book and organize them as a sequence according to design number.
  48. Number two is a documented Sutterlin piece (including Pazaurek). Unfortunately, I can't find my Zelenko anywhere, though I know it's in the house.
  49. Gold and green. Those that have amber lines glow the most. The second is NOT for sale. That was the find of a lifetime, thanks to my photographic memory.
  50. It only means that there was a common refiner, but the pieces might belong to different manufacturers
