    1930s Czechoslovakian enameled glass can be found with a multitude of decoration styles. Occasionally they can be found with some expressive whimsical charm.

    The tall vase stands just under 10" (25.1 cm) tall. It is decorated with enameled blue stars connected by freely-drawn pin striping. The more classic urn-shaped vase has painted flowers with a curly trellis. It stands 6¼" (15.8 cm) tall. Both vases are marked on the undersides as shown in the fourth picture (tall vase on bottom).

    It seems as if there is even less known for sure about this sort of Czechoslovakian product and, accepting the sheer number of finishing houses and cottage industry decorators, chances are little ever will be sorted out. Still, most of them had to be getting the blanks from somewhere?

      I sometimes wonder if the glass houses made different products (shapes) to sell to refiners. I find it a little unusual, that with the number of unidentified enamel work pieces we see, why aren't more of them shapes we see from the glass houses that can be identified.

      It makes sense that there might be separate catalogs for retailers and for jobbers - thanks welebub. Thanks everyone for the loves and views.

      I have always considered that, blanks might have been made to order for specific finishers such as Goldberg, Moser, and the many mentioned in the Truitt Volume one book, and other generic blanks were for the Palda and other companies to finish and sell in their own catalogs.
