Weiss Green Glass - -unmarked - mid last century

Weiss Green glass green strawberry - umarkered- or could be grape but to me it looks like a strawberry. Seller calls it a flower! Mid 20th Century.

Anyhow, those of you who know me through a glass email will have heard me speak of the Weiss family and the industrial glass they made in the Czech region. They were invaded and the glass works taken over by the Nazi's. Some of the family were killed, some were forced to keep the glass works going. Some emigrated to Australia which are the Weiss family we were neighbours and school friends with. Some escaped to the USA.

However this glass brooch was made by Albert Weiss's Weiss glass of New York. He was born and bred there and commenced making Costume glass in 1942 so obviously not involved in the war or in the evacuation of the family across the world. Having said that there is I believe a family tie back in the tree somewhere. But please, no confusion. I would hate ppl to think there is implication of association.

Again I am posting this as the same seller of my Czech brooch is yet to send but I was so excited at getting these two pieces. The USA is def the best place to buy Costume. So many choices... :)Will post more photos when it arrives ...

The brooches arrived and they are splendid! Colour even greener but really hard to photograph but they are gorgous.
