I am hoping that someone can tell me more about this piece. It is a goblet or a vase? Does the pattern have a name? How old is it? I have googled the maker "Coyne's" & I cannot find anything about the company.
It measures 8 11/16" tall, 4" wide at it's widest point, & it weighs 14.7 oz.
Coyne's was probably the importer or the store that sold the glass...I found a decanter and glasses set with the same label that is currently on Etsy. I wouldn't say it is very old - 1950's-60's, perhaps? It is a pretty goblet. Hope this helps!
@Michelleb007 Thank you for your help :)
My pleasure! :)
BEAUTIFUL!!!
As I mentioned on GMB I had a vase in a similar shape. I found an article in the German language Glasrevue of 1970 that shows your shape and mine. The factory was Borské Sklo.
@SEAN68 Thank you :) @vetraio50 I was able to find the glassware that you are talking about in the Glasrevue of 1970 (with the bird pattern). It looks like Borské Sklo is the maker. Thank you for your help :)
I have been looking around for Coyne's too. I found a vase for sale in Seattle on ebay with a similar sticker. I know that vase to be an 'Elegance' design for Skrdlovice. So Coyne's were supplied by various companies under the arrangements of the old Czech regime. I have also seen Borske Sklo bar ware with the label too.
Coyne's & Company Inc., of Minneapolis, Minn.
In 1955, Ed Coyne developed the business around the opportunity to represent the Fenton Art Glass Company. To this day, the Fenton and Coyne families enjoy a long-standing relationship. In 1959, Ed’s son, John, joined the family business after graduating from the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota. Coyne’s & Company continued to increase the number of giftware lines they represented. Eventually, Coyne’s & Company expanded into importing and warehousing giftware items from Europe that were sold to specialty stores in the upper Midwest. From these humble beginnings, Coyne’s & Company has grown into a key player in the giftware industry.
