    I haven't seen many Rindskopf items shown on CW in a while, so wanted to add a few of my more recent pieces here. I have quite a large Rindskopf collection (I think well over 50 pieces now); it has always been a glass house I have really enjoyed collecting. This vase was a gift that I received in May; I had always wanted a piece in this decor, so was very happy to have it! In my opinion, the opalescent peach colored glass that Rindskopf used goes beautifully with the deep green of the lower body. In the second photo, I am showing it next to one of my other pieces, which is a variant on their green wave decor. It is interesting to see how closely the decors match, aside from that lovely peach. My vase measures 7" (17.8cm) tall and dates to about 1905.

      Wonderful. Congratulations. I have it in sizes 23 cm and 35 cm.
      I wonder if there is any evidence that this was actually made by Rindskopf. I also have it listed as Rindskopf, but I'm not sure. However, this applies to a number of other decors that are often attributed to this glassworks. On the contrary, I think that a number of decors from around 1900, which are attributed to the W. Kralik glassworks, were made by Rindskopf.

      In the book Das Böhmisches Glass 1700-1950, Band IV. on page 184, this vase is available in other sizes: 31.7 cm, 26 cm and 18 cm.

      Hi Ales, well, I believe there is evidence of it. I have a collection of over 1,200 Rindskopf images that I have been collecting and filing by decor for years; it is very helpful to me in identifying (or at least studying) both shapes and decors. In addition to the wave decor as seen on the vase shape in the second photo on the left, I have images of the same shape in twisted band, snakeskin, and pulled loop decors. I believe that Al also had a picture of three of these decors together. Let me go through my files and take a look at the connections. Rindskopf was described as one of Loetz's biggest competitors for art glass, so I do think there are many of their decors we have yet to discover.

      And yes, as for sizes, I often see the decors in groups of three sizes: around 6", around 8-9" and around 12-13". They do vary a bit, but in general this seems to apply.

      The Lötz company and the Rindskopf company even led a legal dispute over the iridescence of glass.
      It is especially difficult when there is little contemporary record of the production of individual glassworks. In Bohemia there were connections between different Glassworks that belonged to one owner, and they also produced very similar decors. It becomes particularly difficult when Glassworks ordered pieces from a competitor, as evidenced by Kralik and Lötz, as well as some manufacturers from Murano who have also ordered from Lötz. Your vases are shown in the book "Das Böhmische Glas", Volume VI on page 184 as a cow's head. There is also an article about "Rindskopf" in the very informative book by Volkmar Schorcht "Umsponnen Vernetzt und Gekämmt". Maybe at some point we will know more about these products. Anyway, very nice vases.

      Yes, according to shape studies, a number of decors were assigned to the Rindskopf glassworks. Unfortunately, these shape studies do not include shapes with one or two demonstrable decors of the Rindskopf glassworks - ie Diluvium and Alhambra. Again, based on these studies, it is very likely that this group of shapes and decors was probably made by one glassworks. To claim that it is Rindskopf, but in my opinion there is no concrete evidence. Let's hope that such evidence appears someday. But no matter who the manufacturer was, in my opinion, it is a very interesting and attractive group of glass.

      Thanks for your comments, Ales and Loetzforever. I am always looking for more information on Rindskopf, and hope some new material comes to light.
