    Many bohemian companies in the early part of the 20th century used copper glass. I have looked at it with a magnifying lens and it is amazing too. Here the application of ground copper glass (adventurine glass) is applied to a tango base color glass- the effect is simple and impressive to the eye because of the dispensation between two glass colors.

    p.s. Notice the import stamp

      This is strange, this post used to be attributed with glass produced by Ruckl, in fact based on that I purchased one of them, 2nd image in a different decor, expensive, large and heavy. I guess time has modified the information..... I always had my doubts, and still do about the shape and decor I bought being Ruckl. But they did have line drawings with examples of aventurine/copper or mica inclusions in the glass.
