Modern Half-Post - 2/18/2011 8:33:40 AM    bostaurus Posts: 2299 Joined: 2/17/2009 From: Madison, Wisconsin Status: offline A while back there was some discussion on half post bottles that were showing up now and then. I seem to remember folks wondering if they were coming from Mexico, Europe, or else where. Check out this eBayer's items: http://shop.ebay.com/glashuettebarbora/m.html?_trksid=p4340.l2562 There are some half post bottles in there and much nicer than the ones we have been seeing...those square, long necked things. They are said to be from Lenora in the Czech Republic. I was able to find some information about glass houses being set up there making famous Bohemian glass but nothing about the modern factories. It would help if I spoke Czech. http://cgi.ebay.com/Waldglas-Glas-Glashuette-Barbora-Flasche-Karaffe-Boehmen_W0QQitemZ330475628142QQcategoryZ107530QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp5197.m263QQ_trkparmsZalgo%3DSIC%252BSI%26itu%3DUCI%252BIA%252BUA%252BIEW%252BFICS%252BUFI%252BDDSIC%26otn%3D10%26pmod%3D220737780492%252B150562169090%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D7173908808425583104 _____________________________ Always looking for veterinary bottles, American and foreign.

Sure shows they have the skill though. _____________________________ Always looking for veterinary bottles, American and foreign. (in reply to Steve/sewell) Post #: 3

Have you learned to speak Czech yet Melinda. On a serious note the glass does look very good and I think their products will fool quite a few people over time. < Message edited by Steve/sewell -- 2/19/2011 12:04:24 PM > _____________________________ Auf Wiedersehen (in reply to bostaurus) Post #: 4
