    First photo - tango with colored spatter at the bottom. It is possible that this combination was also produced by other Czech glassworks, but the example in the design of this shape should most likely be Steinwald. The second photo shows examples of other Steinwald's decors in the same shape (especially Bambus). The vases come in three dimensions: 17.9 cm, 23.2 cm and 28.2 cm. However, I assume that this shape was produced in at least one more size. The third photos shows other examples of decor, which collectors call "Wave". Both vases have the typical shape used by the Ernst Steinwald glassworks - the shapes are known in the design of Steinwald's Bambus and Flowerall decors.

      For the sake of completeness, I would like to add information that at the Tango glass exhibition in 2011, the vase from the first photo was presented as a product of the Franz Tomschick glassworks. Nevertheless, I believe that it is more likely to be a product of the Steinwald glassworks. Here is a link to the photo taken at this exhibition. https://img25.rajce.idnes.cz/d2502/6/6618/6618931_d7add26663f00a4768ca6795ee744bc3/images/11_tango_sklo_z_Teplicka_A-_firmy_-_Franz_Wetz_Hrob_u_Teplic_B_-_Franz_Tomschick_Kostany_.jpg?ver=3

      Could I add that the photo you refer to at the address above is not from the 2011 exhibition in Novy Bor. There were four exhibitions. The photo above comes from the third exhibition at the Muzeum Vysociny Havlickuv Brod from 24.04.2012 - 11.07.2012.

      It is from the same exhibition but there are slight differences in the placement of the glass. There are also slight differences in the text on the cabinets.

      Relevant to your arguments are the wording of the texts so here is what I have transcribed from the English text at the 2011 first event in Novy Bor. It is slightly different.

      “Significant but little known center of Tango glass manufacture was in the 1920’s especially the Teplice region. The Tango inspiration was peculiarly taken by the firm of Franz Welz from Hrob u Teplic (A). The Tango Glass production of the two Teplice firms Otto Loewy (glassworks Emma) and Ernest Steinwald may be identified only to the limited extent. However better to be illustrated is the Tango Glass of the firm of Franz Tomschick from Kost’any (B.C). The production of Teplice firms in hot techniques was often influenced by the Bohemian Forest Tradition (sumavskou), since many glass makers came to the Teplice region from there in the early 20th century.“

      Thanks for the clarification.

      great work! Vetraoi, Thank you for suggesting that there could have been labor and design migration from one company to another. Ales, what is the latest on the Zigzag shape? could the orange with confetti base be Tomschick and the wave and Bambus be ER &Co?

      I found this shape (photo 1 and 2) in Tomschick's books only in a book from the end of 1938, which lists a total of 333 shapes that the glassworks of Franz Tomschick took over from the glassworks of Ernst Seinwald. This form is numbered 118 (Tomschick numbering) dated December 20, 1938 and numbered 5,380 (i.e.: Steinwald's form designation). In several other Tomschick books, there are several shapes of a similar type, but none is identical with this shape. If vases with this shape are marked Czechoslovakia (any type of this marking), then it is a product of the Steinwald glassworks. If there is no marking, it is possible that Steinwald or Tomschick did it. The orange vase is not marked, all others are marked Czechoslovakia - semicirular.

      This deserves a separate post, I think, Alex.
