Main interests are Loetz, Kralik, Rindskopf and Harrach, but there are so many more that deserve our attention! I also enjoy research and love a good glass mystery. I collaborate with an international group of collectors and have great fun doing it! (Read more)

  1. I can never get enough of this kind of thing- period catalog illustration (or line drawing) next to a real example. Wonderful!
  2. I do love the yellow also
  3. Could be, I suppose. You're right that they were decorated elsewhere. I also routinely see Harrach blanks on the market that are completely undecorated, but they are identifiable by their shape, and t...
  4. I agree with Jeff, especially after seeing this shape. This is the nicest ones of these I think I have ever seen.
  5. The shape looks familiar, but I'm not comfortable with the decoration. Maybe a Harrach blank decorated elsewhere?
  6. Best lead yet... thanks, Alisa. I'm going to write them and see if they have any more information.
  7. I've always liked this decor - and most of the examples I've seen have been pretty big.
  8. Hi, Steve - no idea on the decor. I'm hoping the Loetz Series I book will shed some light on that, as this shape doesn't seem to be listed in Ricke II.
  9. I have to find one of these some day... :)
  10. Nice, Trudy - for those that are wondering, the catalogue pages are from retailer Silber & Fleming, probably circa 1870-1880.
  11. The enameling on my little piece is not nearly the quality as the Fritz Heckert or Moser Islamic pieces. The problem for all the decorator theories put forth so far is the Made in Czecho-Slovakia stam...
  12. I think it's highly likely that it was decorated elsewhere - the question is, was it decorated before or after the export stamp was applied?
  13. The date for the shape is no big deal... I have that cobalt papillon serving set in a 1908 shape with the square mark, which was used in the 1930s.
  14. But Heckert wasn't a Czech firm, and this piece has a Czech export stamp. The book does list this as a Max Emmanuel commission.
  15. Doesn't get much better than that - wonderful!
  16. Thanks, mate :)
  17. The early stuff - right. I have LOTS of holes to fill there.
  18. Exactly! I wish they would hurry up and do Series I. :)
  19. Could be in the translation, Alisa, but the book does say the original order was for 20 pieces. Tony, I don't know how else I would classify it. But it doesn't look like it was ever intended to be mar...
  20. And I haven't even gotten it home yet! I'll be poring over the pages tonight, I can tell you. :)
  21. I also saw Orange Aeolus mentioned...
  22. Scratch what I said about the number of stripes; but the rim and shape still trouble me a little bit. The color and added decoration are not a problem to me.
  23. It's an interesting comparison, and it is a quality blank, to be sure, but two things trouble me - the round rim (vs the scalloped one) and the number of stripes around the piece, which appear from th...
  24. Thanks, Tony - I'm lucky to have found them... it's one of my favorites, too.
  25. ! With an applied rim, even! Astounding piece. I agree with Al - Rindskopf, commissioned.
  26. I have one exactly like it- it's one of my favorite pieces
  27. Al, I know that feeling all too well!
  28. Thanks, B - gotta love those auctions with poor photos :)
  29. I have done that (wandering around with UV in the dark) more times than I am comfortable talking about :)
  30. You just convinced me that I need black backdrops in addition to the whites that I already have.
  31. Jericho... Use wgallejr@comcast.net. Deb sent me a photo of this vase on a shelf at Passau; unfortunately the plaque didn't nail it down exactly.
  32. Nothing wrong with decorative :)
  33. Nicely done :)
  34. Yes, it is... Harrach also used this combo
  35. I even check the ones that I am 99% sure are not UV reactive. I have been shocked numerous times. I think the last time was when I checked the Harrach matte ceramic.
  36. Thanks, m - stylistically, I don't think it's Pfohl, but I did see the Pfohl pieces in the Passau collection. I think he (Pfohl) took the refining to another level. Best, Warren
  37. First time I've seen one in green - cool :)
  38. This is one of those that sparkles in person, thanks to the little nuggets of gold aventurine, which is almost impossible to photograph well. :)
  39. Alisa, when I was talking to the dealer about this piece, he had no clue, so we got to kicking ideas around. My take was that I felt that this was a Bohemian piece that has French traits, and that plu...
  40. It's a fair question, Mike - but the reason I say circa 1920 is that I don't know when Rindskopf started making these cased aventurine pieces, but I do have an educated guess about when they stopped, ...
  41. Thanks, B :)
  42. Doesn't get much cleaner than that. Nice, rare example!
  43. Interesting; so there were definitely several variations of decor/decoration on this shape. Candia Silberiris is referenced on the line drawing as well, and that is a far cry from Nautilus. Like one o...
  44. Dave, Do you think the reference to "batzen" or "lumps" refers to a variant with prunts added in between the drops (i.e. the round shape on the left side of the line drawing)?
  45. Nice example!
  46. Thanks - I thought so...for $20 all in, I had to have it :)
  47. I think it's probably 1920s because of the form.
  48. Sweet piece of Loetz meat :)
  49. Are you sure Lamartine isn't just the name of a line produced for a particular market by another company (such as Harrach)? Thinking along the lines of Richard, Saurys, de Vez, Lucidus... the shape of...
  50. Great write up, Mike. Beautiful vase, too!
