[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9860808, member: 2844"]You are right, there are some similarities. Ever since the second half of the 19th century the Bohemians showed an interest in Chinese glass making, specifically Peking glass. Ca 1900 they also looked at East Asian design in a broader sense. In the Art Deco period Chinese motifs became one of the main influences of the jewellery makers of the Bohemian/Czech town of Gablonz (now Jablonec). Another important influence was Ancient Egyptian design, which we know as (another) Egyptian Revival in design. No, it isn't what is known as Peking glass. I can never remember the name, but believe it is called dragon's egg glass. It looks like brass, probably gilded. If you ever go to Czechoslovakia, take it with you. Maybe someone in Jablonec can repair it for you, they have the right bits and bobs and are used to handling Czech jewellery.[/QUOTE]
