Here are two pieces of glue chip transparent from 1925-35 Czechoslovakia. They are made similar to French techniques from the deco era but this technique continues to this day. As it was explained to me, the glass is blown In a mold then covered by a spray, film or fabric. After the cooling process the surface is removed revealing a surface texture resembling ice crystals. The finishing process would involve a stain or glaze applied to the surface and possibly refired to give it the glossy effect. The vase is stamped with a small oval decal “made in Czechoslovakia”, this decal appears on Welz, Kralik and many other perfume items exported out of the country at that time. My best guess in the maker is Kralik so I would call the pieces “Kralik Related”.
P.s Franz Welz used the same tinting process seen here on a few pieces I have seen
They are interesting !!!!
Interesting and nice pieces. I wonder which glassworks started using this glass finish first. For information, here is a vase from my collection made by the Josef Inwald glassworks in 1925, which has the same surface finish. Unfortunately, I couldn't take a good picture of the signage. https://www.bohemianglass.org/katalog/vaza-na-nozce-ledove-kvety-1982/detail/
Yes, beautiful piece the square foot is amazing for its time I think. This texture is on very nice with tinting because if the shine. Glue chip pieces get there color by internal powders I don’t think I have ever seen them with colored glass - just crystal clear
Is the technique a coloured version of "Eisglas" or is it totally different ???
I don’t know eisglas but if you have pics send a link
