<p>[QUOTE="Leah Goodwin, post: 7586, member: 213"]Also just to add some further information, F. & C. Osler from the Birmingham region produced a lot of crystal prisms and specialized in many light fittings from 1807-1960. This British company purchased many lustres from Harrach during the Victorian era. By 1860, Harrach had over a 100 designs. I can only imagine the choices! Lustres have been around for some time and they are still being produced to look like the original. I am not saying these lustres are Harrach, but as a possibility I would like to point out is there could be a marriage of sorts with the lustres and prisms. It is possible the lustre and prisms were produce by two companies. Another example would be like DeBliviss who sold many perfume bottles. They produced the metal mounts, but purchased the glass perfume bottles from other glass companies such as Steuben and others. When it comes to Bohemian glass, it's not a matter of who made it, it's understanding the glass is quality at it's best, imo. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
