I'm Dave, and I have been collecting glass since around 2000. I started out with little colorful vases and pitchers, then decided I liked iridescent glass.

Comments

  1. German Silver is another name for Nickel Silver alloy, and not necessarily from Germany. Wikipedia has some good info on the history of it. This was most likely made in the US.
  2. You should look at Jean Beck for these, I think.
  3. They look very nice together Gary. And the buffet is perfect to show them off.
  4. I am not disagreeing with you in any way, it is just the only production number I could find that matched the shape of this vase. So it could be that it is from Series I and not II.
  5. Thanks guys. They really do look best when displayed together. I'm working on trying to find a little glass display case to put them in, or perhaps it might be easier to make one.
  6. I just bought a seventh one for my collection, in a blue silberiris (or Norma?) finish, in a "genie bottle" shape, to match one I have in Candia Papillon.
  7. They may show up in Series I, when and if that book is published. And if not, they might be in the rather large section of missing patterns from Series II, but I agree, it's probably no accident that ...
  8. Thank you Tony. Yes, they certainly are, which is why I had to get it when I had the chance.
  9. I would like to find another in this decor but a different shape, then if it is in The Book it should list orange opal in the decors. The problem is that I have not seen another like it, or if I did, ...
  10. I have one exactly like it Warren, and mine has the crossed arrows mark. I have seen 3 in this shape with that mark. Too bad yours doesn't have it also.
  11. Very much like my silberiris: https://46798ddf-a-62cb3a1a-s-sites.googlegroups.com/site/loetzglass/loetz-page-3/spittoon.jpg
  12. There is certainly no doubt about them being matching forms, and all good sizes too. These really need to be seen in person to be appreciated. It must have been quite a workout for the artist with som...
  13. This decor is also in PMC band VI on p. 21, decor unidentified.
  14. Thanks to everyone for the loves.
  15. Thanks, Austro. I had only seen them in the books, but never for sale. Then again, I wasn't searching as intently before, and now when I stumble upon something it practically leaps out at me.
  16. Google translator usually works well enough for the words I don't remember from 2 years of German classes in high school, or even just from prior translations. "Sechzehn" should have gotten my attent...
  17. I searched for the shape before I got the vase Warren, but didn't see it. After I had it in my hands I thought I recognized it, and it took me about 2 minutes to locate it. Thanks for that info De...
  18. Shapes that were formerly known as Kralik are now attributed to Heckert by Stefania Zelasko (#1, 3, 4)
  19. Same shape as the Pfauenauge vase I bought last month.
  20. Glad you got it, Warren. Who would have thought it looked like this from the photos.
  21. My guest bathrooms are about the size of your kitchen, Al. But they are the only rooms I have without windows. I'm going to try this too. With a black background my two little UV lights might be able ...
  22. Thanks for sharing Al, I must try this, although my UV lights are small ones.
  23. One of my favorite decors, on one of my favorite shapes.
  24. Very much appreciated. Loetz.com is another good one, and used to be my main reference site.
  25. The Grenada red is bright red, and this is not. This is not quite as dark as some Pepita, but the coloring is right for it, I have no doubt.
  26. Thank you, that is my site :)
  27. This is the darker of the two, Pepita. Grenada is (as the name suggests) grenadine red at the top.
  28. I tried it out last night. I had to lower it about 2 inches so I wasn't look up into the bulb, and it's perfect now. It's easy enough to adjust a hanging lamp. Thanks Gary, and Hornet.
  29. Sorry, it's Chinese. The gift shop at our airport had them in various sizes and colors, all with "Made in China" stickers. I bought one several years ago and gave it to a relative.
  30. I thank you, sir. And no Frank, but it did come from a private collection that shall remain nameless.
  31. Thanks guys.
  32. The fewer times I handle the glass, the less likely I am to have an accident with a piece. Most of mine is behind glass, and only needs dusting about once a year when I can see haze on the shelves or ...
  33. The mark appears to be an acid stamp. The house that made it created a stylized mark so their wares would be instantly recognizable. Yes, I would say after 1970. Just my opinion though. I am not infal...
  34. I don't really know much about Corning, so I can't comment on that museum. Perhaps someone else knows more about it.
  35. To be honest, that snapped pontil and mark look more like studio glass than old glass. I didn't find much after doing a search for H. St., or even H. A., which it also looks like.
  36. Yikes, it looks like they put them on the shelf with a shovel!
  37. Thanks for the loves, everyone.
  38. I'm glad you asked those questions. I thought about going into it in the above post, but didn't think anyone would want to read such a long story, so I stopped where I did. I was still working on a fi...
  39. By the way, I try not to use super glue anymore for repairing glass. When it dries, it turns white and is visible on or in the glass (I have used it to stabilize a crack, so it won't continue to run)...
  40. I'm using an older version of Word though, so yours might be different. I know Alfredo's is a new version, and mine has to convert it in order to view it.
  41. Lisa, when I tried copying the photo, it copied it to the Word clipboard, but it would not let me save it to the desktop. When I tried to paste it into a blank email, it pasted the outline of the phot...
  42. Thanks Al. I learned how to do it through necessity. And thanks Gretch, for being there for me through all these years, and not just turning a blind eye to my buying but actually being excited when ne...
  43. If you right-click on the photos, does it give you the "save as" option? You can save them to the desktop or folder if so.
  44. Nice to finally have this information, Alfredo. Be sure to post the other shape as well. I know you probably have them all.
  45. I was assured that it would happen. And they should be more easily available than the first one, which can only be purchased from the museum in the Czech Republic. The rest may be published in Austria.
  46. Thanks for that comment, Steve. The primary reason the decor seems to be missing from the musterschnitte is that only 35% of the shapes that were produced from Series I (from which this decor comes) a...
  47. Here is one that sold for a pretty penny. https://www.liveauctioneers.com/sothebys/item/579052
  48. Thanks everyone for the loves and comments. By the way, I always appreciate your comments, likes and loves. I don't always thank people for them, but that is mostly to keep from filling up your inboxe...
  49. That's OK Al, I didn't buy it for you :)
  50. You are so right, Tony. You just want to hold it and look at the detailed work on it, but too much handling is what wears away the enamel, so back into the cabinet it goes.
