<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hamburger, post: 4128415, member: 17940&quot;]Thank you. They really are quite exquisite -- but they don&#039;t have a place in our home and someone else will appreciate them more.</p><p><br /></p><p>They&#039;ve already given us far more than I could have imagined when I joined this forum late last year. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" /> The first two vases were among items we put to one side after my mother-in-law died and which I came here to find out more about.</p><p><br /></p><p>An answer above led to Loetz and to me spending time in some fascinating corners of the web:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.bohemianglass.org/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.bohemianglass.org/" rel="nofollow">https://www.bohemianglass.org/</a></p><p><a href="https://sites.google.com/site/loetzandglass/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://sites.google.com/site/loetzandglass/" rel="nofollow">https://sites.google.com/site/loetzandglass/</a></p><p><a href="http://kralik-glass.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://kralik-glass.com/" rel="nofollow">http://kralik-glass.com/</a></p><p>and of course</p><p><a href="https://www.loetz.com/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.loetz.com/" rel="nofollow">https://www.loetz.com/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I also somehow ended up with three second-hand books on Bohemian art glass. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/wink.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=";)" unselectable="on" /> It&#039;s not going to become a major obsession, but we won&#039;t hurry past the relevant sections of museums and galleries from now on either.</p><p><br /></p><p>The third vase is now going to join its friends at auction. Sending them out into the world to find people who appreciate them will be good. Getting some money in return will also be nice -- and make up for having to let go of bulkier items for nothing, or next to nothing, when we were clearing the house (and taking other stuff to charity shops because we didn&#039;t have a clue). <img src="styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png" class="mceSmilie" alt=":)" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
