I love this lively colour not only in glass but also everywhere (as you can see from my profile photo).
Polish Zabkowice glassworks produced many things in this colour.Here is another one - a bird bowl (by Eryka Trzewik Drost too).
Can I call it amberina although I don't know if gold was used in the production process?Is the gold necessary to gain this colour?
Could anyone to fill my curosity?

What a beautiful bird bowl, Ivonne, and the grouping in the third picture is very attractive. I love these sunset colors, too. :)
Thanks caperkid for the love:)
Thanks katherinescollections for the nice words :)
I'm not very keen on glass birds but this one entranced me by its simplicity and I'm glad you too :)
A great bird and a wonderful group.
May I ask Ivonne are Drost works readily available in Poland? They are so rarely seen here and nothing as good as yours.
I am not going to enter the amberina debate......
Thanks Nicefice,SEAN,aura and Karen for the loves:)
Karen,I guess that many people have their works at home and never even thought abut their design as they were mass production (a lot of houshold pieces).
Nowadays 60s and 70s are becoming more and more collectible and some items are more wanted eg.those from my posts as they are relatively rare.
But you always can find several pieces on bids.
If this is a household item it's a clever design as the tail would be a practical handle. Yet unused it's very pretty!
Thanks Peggy for the comment :)
Perhaps I didn't make me clear.I meant majority of their production was household,but this one was rather decorative.
However you've spotted on its utility :))
Thanks Deano for the love:)

Your very welcome Ivonne ;) !!
Many thanks for the love Sylvia:)
Yes Ivonne. From what I've researched, gold would have been used along with a heating and cooling process to cause the nice amberina result. Iron, Sulphur ( in the reduced state as a sulphide), Carbon.... a pinch of gold and, voila!
Zabkowice glassworks really made some incredible and gorgeous glass. I've read they were one of the biggest, and best, manufactures of European carnival glass back in the days. Sadly, they closed their doors in 2005.
Hi,Mike.Thanks for commenting and supporting me in my opinion this is amberina.They made quite a lot in amberina and I love it very much.
This is interesting what you said about their carnival glass.I always thought that Hortensja was a biggest producer.I have a nice set of carnival glass from Zabkowice.I'll send you a photo
" Zabkowice produced most of the “Golden” designs that we know of ". Hi Ivonne. Here is an excerpt from the link I've pasted here. Some very ambitious researchers from Britain were in your country some years ago and developed this page. It's possible they speak more of amberina rather than carnival. All I know is they made some exceptionally sweet looking classic glass. I look forward to your email as always :) http://www.carnivalglassworldwide.com/golden-treasures.html
Thank you,Mike ,so much for commenting and the link.I have to examine my catalogues,items and take photos before I mail you so be patient :)
Thank you brunswick,GeodeJem.OneGoodFind and Nicefice for the loves :)
