  1. Viennese chic!
  2. I don't know how I missed this? Welcome to the Max Rade Club, Inky! Any marks underneath? Also, have you checked to see if it flouresces? I suspect not given the tint to the glass, but it never hu...
  3. Thanks folks! I was amazed that this showed up in a local auction house. Couldn't resist.
  4. Nice macro shots, T!
  5. Thanks for the information! The inside of the "box" is completely simple. There is nothing inside to suggest that it was intended to be anything other to be a large open space. The coal bin hypothe...
  6. I'm amazed that you had the cojones to lay the piece on its side/rim like that! Yikes!
  7. I share the same sentiment as GSO. Any early Poschinger is well worth it. Without any markings underneath, I'm afraid you can't definitively nail it down to Betty Hedrich, though she certainly is a ...
  8. It could be a Carl Schmoll piece. Is it marked underneath?
  9. I've learned that one relies solely upon auction house attribution that it can be a source of much confusion/misinformation. Often times it is the devoted collector who is correct in matters such as ...
  10. Whatever the true Loetz moniker/label, it's beautiful! Frankly, I like the "Mit Trophen" better than Vesuvian for these odd colored pieces.
  11. Thanks all for the loves.
  12. Impressive.
  13. I had the same form with overlay, but with a dark purple cased glass. Goldberg was the attribution for that piece. The silver overlay is really fragile and thin on these pieces; too much polishing a...
  14. ~650 euro, not counting buyers % and the highway robbery that Quittenbaum calls "shipping/handling"
  15. Glasfabrik Elizabeth. There's a mounted version of this very form and decor currently up on the auction block at Quittenbaum (today).
  16. The other 10 weren't cheap. Did you get them? I was watching...thought about going for them myself, but didn't want to rob someone of the opportunity for a full dinner set.
  17. That stand is pretty ornate, but as Alfredo noted it has appeared on other decors and bowl sizes. Makes one wonder who produced it!? Very nice collection addition!
  18. I think Goldberg is a safe bet.
  19. I agree with GSO. Not Poschinger. Likely Bohemian, but certainly not consistent with Poschinger finishing/pontil.
  20. From what I can tell it is Norwegian, and I suspect fairly rare...as are most European psychedelica ephemera from the period. Very cool.
  21. DO NOT CLEAN THE SURFACES. Only use water and a soft cloth. The surfaces look fine and are original. You will kill any collector/antique value (which isn't that great anyway ~$200-400) if you polis...
  22. 1910-1930 is a safe range on production.
  23. Looks like Salem Lamp Co. Check underneath the base. If there's a felt bottom, any marks are possibly underneath the felt and stamped into the metal.
  24. Dreamy. Very much in the symbolist realm. The best egg I've seen.
  25. Couldn't agree more. Orient & Flume doesn't get half the attention it deserves...particularly their early production.
  26. Not to be argumentative, but I believe the glass type generally goes by Cypern (from the original German for Cyprus). I have one of these in a different Sutterlin pattern and another with the same de...
  27. Very nice. I believe this is on cypern/uranium glass. If you illuminate it with UV, it should glow brightly.
  28. Wow. At first glance I thought the first vase was a cinnabar carving. Amazing glass work.
  29. Oh, sorry. I'll do some sleuthing based upon your suggestion. Thanks again.
  30. Thanks for the loves folks. What do you mean by "Holz-Plastik," Vetraio50? The piece isn't wood composite. You are certainly right about Löffler being another putto designer. Another would be Ri...
  31. Thanks for the kind words, AH. I've seen you and your partner's Loetz pieces...I think you are being overly modest. Plus, I love how you shoot your items for display.
  32. Very nice pieces, GSO. I think the dark purple is my favorite of te two. Wonderful enamel work. Does the enamel form initials or a monogram?
  33. Wonderful acquisition! The glaze contrast are superlative. I wasn't paying attention yesterday...you got a steal.
  34. This strikes me as being hispanic in nature and design. While the style is reminiscent of Art Nouveau, I believe that she is really more recent (modern) and either hispanic or American Indian in orig...
  35. Thanks, Bellin68! Happy Easter to you, too!
  36. I certainly do, Bellin68! I can't believe I missed this. Looks like Steinschönau to me. The color scheme and tracery is certainly their style. The addition of the stylized heads is unusual for wha...
  37. Well...it's not iron then. Very interesting patina/darkening of the copper and hammered look to the curlicues.
  38. Are you sure that the mount is copper and brass? The dark components look like wrought iron. A magnet test might be enlightening.
  39. Very cool. The mount is quite unusual for the period, and I'm amazed that the piece survived in such great condition. Indeed a gem!
  40. I agree, Stillwater! It's one of the reasons I had to have it. I've yet to figure out what I'm going to do with it, though.
  41. Is that really how the Passau Museum maintains their collection?!!! Thank heavens for collectors outside the PM, then...given their conservation methods, we're likely to have better examples. Sheesh.
  42. Thanks to you both. Funny, now that you mention it Vetraio50...it does have a rising fireworks appearance. If you know anything about Fritz Krug, please share it. My searches haven't been too fruit...
  43. Very nice. I believe that Cypern is the type of glass, not the pattern. And, if my visual memory is correct, I believe that a vase with this pattern is in the Passau Museum collection.
  44. Thanks all. I'm probably in the minority, but I'm convinced that modern art glass paperweights are under-appreciated and under-valued relative to the effort necessary to make them.
  45. Pure Art Nouveau. Love it!
  46. Thanks all. It's not very heavy at all, but very sturdy. The top has been coated, so we do use it as a plant, vase and candle stand. Right now we have a nice orchid, candle and one of my antique Cl...
  47. Loetz. This sort of overlay has been seen on a similar Hofstotter vase here on CW. http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/51760-signed-alvin-892-358-silver-overlay-mi?in=666
  48. T's word is good.
  49. Secessionist with a hint at the coming Art Deco movement. Wonderful piece.
  50. Thanks, Bellin68! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!
