Bohemia, Cut Crystal, Cut Glass, Czech Glass, Czechoslovakia, Vase
I am assuming that this vase is a Bohemian/Czech hand cut piece. Likely mid-twentieth century. I know little about Czech glass but this caught my eye.
It is quite brilliant and glows beautifully in the sun. The photo doesn’t do this case justice.
At over three pounds it is solid.

This is a very pretty mysterious nappy. It has a mark, but I have been unable to identify it. It has a three lobed clover/shamrock with the letters “G”, “C” and “O” inside each of the lobes. I have tried to show it in the second photo.
The larger photo does not indicate the attractiveness of this piece.
If anyone has any idea of the provenance of this piece I would be grateful for the information.

This covered sugar bowl is from the Yeoman line, which I gather consists of a number of lines – 1184, 1185, 1187, and 1189. This is line #1184 (I think). I gather this line came in a diamond optic or plain, as is this piece. In the book The Collector’s Encyclopedia of Heisey Glass, 1925-1938 by Neila Bredehoft, the pattern is identified and explained by:
“Several items in the line were originally listed as Pattern # 1182 (mainly those available in hawthorne). Yeoman seems to be a catch-all pattern of simple designs for tableware. Usually numbers up to #1189 are considered to be part of Yeoman.” I don’t really know the logic behind this name, but Ms. Bredehoft indicates that the Yeoman name was use din later years – production dates – 1913-1957.
This is pretty colour. This is in Heisey’s Hawthorne – a dark pink/lavendar shade. Very pretty. The pattern came in moongleam (green), flamingo (pink), marigold (bright yellow) and sahara (a different yellow).
