I have been collecting Bohemian glass, mostly Rindskopf, Loetz, and Heckert, for well over twenty years now. I also collect old Baccarat enameled opaline pieces. I fI have been collecting Bohemian glass, mostly Rindskopf, Loetz, and Heckert, for well over twenty years now. I also collect old Baccarat enameled opaline pieces. I find glass so intriguing and beautiful. It all started when I saw (and then purchased) my first piece of Loetz - a beautiful little double gourd vase. I always love to learn more from others, and to share in the joy of our latest finds! (Read more)

  1. Thanks so much Peggy, I appreciate it! :)
  2. Thank you, Sammyz!
  3. Thank you, Loetzforever! I had actually wondered about that, and appreciate your suggestion. That is why I lean to a slightly later date for my piece, too . I received Jitka Ln?ni?ková's new book for ...
  4. Thank you, Sammyz!
  5. Thank you Ales, I appreciate it. I saw the discussion on the bohemian glass fb group. The information I was given was either Kralik or Poschinger. (Warren also said he now does not believe this decor ...
  6. Thanks so much, Peggy!!
  7. Thank you so much IronLace; I appreciate it!
  8. Thank you, Tilted!
  9. Happy new year Ales!
  10. Your Melusin pieces are stunning! I also have Jitka’s new book, and I have seen that rather than saying the clear colorless glass in most pieces is candia, as I typically see, she is saying the clea...
  11. Just wanted to add an update - Warren does not now think this is a Loetz decor. Evidence points to either Kralik or Poshinger as potential makers.
  12. Very interesting about the possible decor name - and a lovely piece!
  13. Thank you kivatinitz - that is a very interesting site!

  22. A beautiful example; thanks for sharing it!
  23. Beautiful! I have never seen a flower like this one before - you had a lucky day!
  24. My pleasure, IronLace! I was really surprised about these. It does make sense that you find some in Australia - I had never considered that! :)
  25. Thanks Kevin!
  26. Thanks so much inky! :)
  27. Very interesting about the color names; thanks so much, Kai!
  28. This piece is amazing, Kai ! Thank you for sharing it!
  29. Fantastic information Volkmar; thank you!
  30. For those who didn’t see it, here is my earlier post about Malkey from 2022: “ Hi all, I have some very sad news to confirm; a friend of Malkey's let me know via email that he died on December 12, 20...
  31. Beautiful, Volkmar - thanks for posting this one!
  32. I really enjoy how much you pay attention to actual decor names that Loetz used. I think it gives insight into the glass, and I like to think about this too. When I see a vase in the Pampas decor, it ...
  33. Hi rzwolinski, that is great to know, thank you! I hope you enjoy the painting!
  34. Hi Blueyecon, Thanks so much for your comment! I am so glad that my post was interesting to you, and it is nice to hear your connections to the area, too.
  35. I love these Kevin!
  36. Thank you, Warren, I appreciate it!
  37. Wow - your basket collection has grown! It is really is a wonderful assortment of colors and shapes! :)
  38. I love this grouping, Peggy! To me, all of your pieces are tango glass. They are all of the same period and style, and in my opinion, intention - strongly contrasting colors on rims and trim or handle...
  39. I love the frilled Welz pieces! I had a pair of candlesticks with the same frills. This is so pretty with the spiral, too - a terrific piece, Marin! :)
  40. This is my favorite Loetz cameo, Penny - the shape, color - everything! Congratulations!
  41. Jericho, even though these are by color and not your preferred choice of display, the diversity of forms you show is wonderful, as is seeing the range of different shades. These are great examples!
  42. Peggy, I agree with Scott - what a great photo! The Harrach set is very interesting, and I always like the painted tangos, by those unknown. Thanks for a great post! :)
  43. kivatinitiz, thank you! I really appreciate it!
  44. Thanks so much JimTim! It is great to see your example, too - thank you for pointing it out. It is also very interesting that Harrach and Welz made versions very similar to this, too. I am going to go...
  45. Thank you Wow22, I agree - it reminds me of Welz, too. But I think the enamel work is quite different, and points to Loetz in this case. :)
  46. Beautiful, and your photos, too! Happy spring, Marin! :)
  47. Amazing, Penny! No other word for it!
  48. Beautiful piece, Tony!
  49. Oh, what a beauty! This is a terrific shape, and such a beautiful shade of pink, too. I love it! :)
  50. This is a beauty, Peggy! Lovely enameling - I love the details on the back, too! :)
