<p>[QUOTE="Brywil1970, post: 31245, member: 92"]This is the reply on the Vintage Glass page on FB. TGhis guy seems like he knows what he is talking about, but I have trusted you guys for years. So what do you think? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/roger.haworth.7?fref=ufi" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.facebook.com/roger.haworth.7?fref=ufi" rel="nofollow">Roger Haworth</a>Here's basically the same basket (same shape, same distinctive crimp) in a spatter glass treatment. There's no question these are Bohemian -- there are illustrations of similar imported wares in Butler Brothers and other wholesaler's catalogs from about 1900. The question is which factory. Franz Welz seems to be the most probable, but documentation on many Bohemian factories is still scarce (although rapidly improving), at least in English. Just as a caveat -- you'll find a lot of Bohemian glass identified as British in older reference books -- we've learned a lot since the Iron Curtain came down.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
