Here are three Bohemian "powder" jars - or covered boxes or dresser boxes or lidded jars or jewelry boxes, etc. They range in height from 4 to 5.5 inches. The orange and yellow example with the celluloid lid is Kralik, I believe. I am not sure who the maker/s of the other two might be?
Wow, so hard to decide my favorite...
AmberRose, you are right. This, to me, is one of those situations where "the whole is greater than the sum of the parts". In other words, they enhance each other. I think this is how collections or "collections within collections" start.
VO, they say three make a collection. More great treasures. Hope you are well.
The jar in pic 4 is likely Ruckl. http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/63401-czechoslovakia-iridescent-orange-tango-a
charcoal, thanks so much for your input/help.
in LOVE with pic 4 - Wow
Perfumer, Thanks. The metal (brass I think?) was very dark & dirty. A toothbrush and some Brasso and five minutes really made a difference.
Absolutely gorgeous... I love all three, but the turquoise /jade is my favorite.
I have one like the yellow swirled - same kind of top and everything - no idea who made it, though
Welzebub, the only reasons I displayed them together here on CW was because I thought they were all three Bohemian and all three dresser items/powder boxes. No other links, at least not to me.
Also I know folks like to group Bohemian baskets and/or inkwells - so why not see what's out there in this "category".
Thanks czechman, it's fun to post, and learning something new is always a plus.
