Title: Rindskopf Art Glass Vase

Reference: 01754

Description: A stunning iridescent Art Glass Vase from the Rindskopf factory. Josef Rindskopf was born in 1829 in Bohemia, in the middle of the 19th century he went to America, after marrying, he returned to Teplitz, Bohemia. Teplitz was a famous spa town and there were a number of glass factories in the surrounding area at that time and in 1876 Josef Rindskopf and some of his brothers co-owned a glass company called Bruder Rindskopf. A year after Josef's death in 1890, four of Josef's sons - Sidney, Albert, Edwin and Sherman, established a new glass company called Josef Rindskopf's Sohne A.G. (Josef Rindskopf's Sons) at Kosten. They started to produce iridescent art glass, crackle glass and frosted items and much of the popular art nouveau styled iridescent art glass was exported. By the early 1930s, financial constraints meant that the name of Rindskopf was lost as the company was taken over by Inwald, although the family remained involved. Rindskopf glass was represented at Hatton Gardens in London before the 2nd World War, but the company became increasingly involved in the mass-produced market, and are still in operation today under the name of Bohemia Crystal. The shape of this vase is typical of the Art Nouveau vases produced by Rindskopf. c.190b
