Champagne Flute, Czechoslovakia, Floral Etch, Plate Etched, Snifter, Water Goblet

This line is different again – more like the earlier stems I owned.

Came across these water goblets while I was in the USA.  They have the same etch, although the stem is different.  Replacements.com

Given that the stem is different I wonder if the pattern is still the same.  Likely just a variation between Czech glass houses using the same design.

If any one knows, please share the info!

Picked up these two champagne flutes recently.  At first I thought they were a match to another etch I have.  Check out the details on the Bohemia Victory Champagnes (5) D’Arques wine glasses with the Dampiere etch.  Very similar.  Heisey also has an etch – Osage – that has similar details as well.

In any event the stems were the first clue, and the a closer look was the second clue.Bohemia Victory Champagnes (3)

I still don’t know any more about the provenance of these stems.  But they are pretty.

Bohemia Victory Brandy I bought three snifters recently at a local antique shop.  I have only seen this etch on the Replacements, Ltd. site –  www.replacements.com.  They didn’t have any stems for sale at the time and I don’t see the pattern there any longer. If you haven’t seen this site before,  definitely take a look.  It indexes literally tens (if not hundreds) of thousands of patterns of china, silver, crystal, etc.  I have one of their publications that provides sketches of etches.  It took me awhile to track this etch down, but it appeared to be the same as the etch that had been identified as Bohemia’s Victory etch.  I don’t know much about Bohemia Crystal but I believe that they were/are imports from Czecholoslovakia.  Some of their patterns are quite common.  I also had some pretty sherry stems that were shaped like small flute champagnes.   A friendly ebayer emailed some details of the crystal as it was her wedding pattern.  I somehow deleted that message, big dolt, but would love to hear from someone else who knows more about it.  They are very dainty.

Bohemia Etoile – Update to – Saint Louis Cleo ? or Bohemia Queen’s Lace

A smaller version.  I am going with the Etoile ID.

 

 

 

————————————————————————-

2015

Finally after three years someone out in cyberspace has corrected an ID for me.  Love it.  That’s why I started this blog in the first place.  The gold rim glass is confirmed by someone whose sister collects this pattern, as Bohemia Etoile.

Over the years I have had a number of pieces with the gold rim and the etch and knew that I had never confirmed the blank.  It is great to have this corrected and identified.

I don’t know if the small glasses below are part of this pattern however.  There is no gold rim and Replacements doesn’t include this shape in its listing of Etoile.

Also, I think these pieces are older.  The glass is much thinner and if I recall, as I haven’t seen them for awhile, I think the etch is finer.

Lotus/Glastonbury has a very similar etch called Garland #1001 and  the St. Louis Cleo etch is also very similar.  All about the shape/blank in the end, isn’t it?

Intriguing.  Thanks to the person who had identified the Etoile pattern however.

I have to update this prior posting with a new photo.  You’ll notice that the etch is the same, but larger, not as detailed, and the rim is gold.  The Queen’s Lace has the gold encrusted pattern, so I still don’t know what this is.  I have these two snifters, and a couple other pieces, yet to be shown.

 

This etch is a bit of a mystery.  I bought 8 of these little glasses in town here.  The seller, Marie from Under the Toadstool, said that they had belonged to her mom, but she didn’t know anything about them.   They are very small ( 3 1/2 in with a 2 1/8 inch opening) and don’t have the shape that I’d associate with a liqueur or cordial glass.  I think of those glasses being more cylindrical, these have a slight flare, if that’s the correct word.  I have this etch on two water goblets and a decanter.  I have seen it identified as Bohemia Crystal’s Queen’s Lace etch and as St. (Saint) Louis Massenet.  However the Bohemia pattern is always shown with a particular stem and the St. Louis pattern has the etch encrusted with gold.  My other pieces have a stem I’ve not seen with this pattern, and gold along the rim, but not in the etch.  No markings on anything.  The glass is very thin.  They look old.

I have a question into a European company to see if they can shed any light on this etch.  As usual….if anyone can shed any light on this mystery………

 

 

Red Flashed Stem – “Belfor” – Bohemia Crystal

Cocktail Glass, Czechoslovakia, Red Glass

My guy went off for his weekly jaunt to the Courtice Flea Market.  He very often returns home with a piece/pieces of glass for me to consider.  Some choices are better well-received than others.  This little set of four was a success although I don’t know much about them.

Luckily the one has a label attached that reads – “Crystal Belfor Hand Made”.  The little that I can find online is that “Belfor” is attributed as Bohemia Crystal, a Czech product.

I haven’t yet come across this particular line, although I was interested in observing that the “Exquisite” line is attributed as Belfor at Replacements. I think this is a line that is often seen in my part of Ontario, but I am going to look more closely next time I run across it.

Another site I came across in my search was a site out of Edmonton – The Crystal Connection.  The vendor sells discontinued crystal and also offers an identification service with lovely photos.  Right on the home page is a piece that I am sure that I own – “Royal Diamond” by Fine Arts Crystal.  I am going to have to scout around the garage and find it.

In any event, this little glass is quite pretty. Best guess for age – 1960s-1980s.  WOuld love to have someone correct me.

This purchase of my husband’s ranks high on the ‘good decision’ rankings.
