    This tale is knee deep in the endless process of identifying art glass items from early 20th century, or 1925-1935 decade in Europe.

    The 1925 year was notable due to the Paris International Exhibition which focused on design and artistic contributions, among many other aspects. There was an important renewal of interest and economic reward for the many existing producers of decorative art glass, pottery, metalwork, etc.

    We know that several well to do glass houses created a whole new line of innovative fabrication and use of color that had never been done before. It boded well for that industry till 1929, after the New York Stock Exchange crash and the ensuing depression.

    My interest here is that the small 5-6 inches high jar or bowl in image 1, since it was advertised in this 1925 catalogue, see the last row of pieces, which also shows measurements. This same jar in a mix of blue and green was identified as Kralik, Czechoslovakia due to its ressemblance to other Kralik spatter glass pieces in this small general shape and size.

    If you see the 9 pages of this catalog, it is amazing how familiar the contents are, not exactly the same designs, but close enough to several other countries. When you look at the details of an actual piece, the clean and polished look make the Czech ID less likely.

    Another glass information from a period of high production and exports from Europe to America, after WWI, for a short time.

    Pukeberg a famous Swedish glass producer had been in the glass lamp and shade category since the late 19th century, another familiar outcome, they changed hands with new owners and designers. They are still in the decorative glass business today, yet they did not pursue the colorful Art Deco styles after WWII. So this chapter in their history, was short lived, and not as well documented or known as more recent production.
