    This bottom-up spatter décor is one of my obsessions. I am fascinated by the differences in colour and applied colour. And SO modern. Please read below for some learned comments on them.

      The zig-zag vases were placed in a cabinet at the 2011 Tango exhibition on a shelf next to some Welz pieces. They were both part of a grouping that Jitka Lnenickova described as the "Little-Known Teplice Region". The Welz pieces were on the left and to the right were six vases that she ascribed to Franz Tomschick from Kost'any.

      "Significant but little known centre of Tango glass manufacture especially in the 1920’s was the Teplice region. The Tango inspiration was particularly taken (on board by) the firms of Franz Welz from Hrob by Teplic and the firm of Franz Tomschick from Kost’any (1918 – 1930)."

      Kost'any is a town between Hrob and Teplice.

      The best known glassworks in Kost'any was one called "Augustinka" (aka Glashüttenwerk Steinhügel) set up in 1873 on a stone hill that employed exclusively Czech glassmakers.

      In 1901 it was bought out by Franz Tomschick (aka Franz Tomschicka, Franze Tomschicka, Frantisek Tomsik at al).

      The Tomschick control of the glassworks led to an unprecedented boom. In 1928 there were four furnaces and 400 workers. They produced hollow glass, lighting and luxury stained glass. They specialised in the use of selenium glass wares even up until modern times.

      The works there in Kost'any finally closed on 1 May 1996. Closing the glassworks also ended what was almost a hundred and fifty year history of glass production in Kost'any.

      Here is a shot of the Tomschick vases from the exhibition when it aired in Teplice:

      For comparison check out the photos from another format of the exhibition where the Welz and Tomschick pieces are put together.

      The important photos for you are #4 and #5.

      But the rest of these photos by Rover are great too!

      My apologies!

      For some reason the link in comment 4 does not take you there immediately.

      Copy and paste the entire link and it works fine.

      Welzebub is quite correct. That covered vase moved around a bit in the cabinets ....

      At Teplice it had this description:

      Again I'm sorry Ian that has not worked. The covered piece is the photo before these. Number 17.

      Thanks - I really appreciate all the comments - I maybe should have posted it as an ID request. I will have a good look at all the links.

      I don't suppose that this will be the last time that all my assumptions about a shape or decor are completely changed. ;-)
    10. vetraio50 vetraio50, 11 years ago
      I was wondering if any of these vases are marked?

      ks85, Tomschick vases with "Kralik" marks is a strong clue that the "Kralik" mark isn't 100% Kralik. Please post a link to the marked vases.

      I have really been informed by the discussion - I don't mind making mistakes - but hope I don't repeat any... too much.
    13. IanBrighton IanBrighton, 11 years ago
      The reddest rocket-shaped vase on the far left has a lightly impressed, but clearly visible, linear "Czechoslovakia" in lower case on the base. I got that one from the USA. The others are unmarked, and all from the UK.

      this is great research, I hope someday we can know more about this factory
