[QUOTE="42Skeezix, post: 46578, member: 40"]This is (probably) Czech, circa 30s-40s. Early American glass was all the rage then. The engraving is a stylized version of the basket of flowers engraving found on a lot of "Stiegel" type glass, manufactured in Pa. in the mid/late 18th. century. A lot of Czech blown glass made to kinda look like early Stiegel and other early American glass came into the U.S. to capitalize on this collecting fervor of the time. SOMETIMES you'll find an etched "Czechoslovakia" on the base but 90% was unmarked. Sorry about the large image but here's a period (1775-1820) "Stiegel type" tumbler. [IMG]http://art.famsf.org/sites/default/files/artwork//9209326222140098.jpg[/IMG] The irony is much of this early "American" glass, through subsequent research since the early twentieth century, is now known to have originated, circa 1800, in.......BOHEMIA.[/QUOTE]
