Art Deco Designs made famous by Heinrich Hoffmann and Curt & Henry Schlevogt in the 1930's known as the Ingrid line. This piece doesn't have the original label but others from the same collection have a gold foil label that reads "Bohemia Glass made in Czechoslovakia" This dates the piece to being made sometime between 1948 and 1990.

In 1945 the original molds were taken over by Josef Riedel Glassworks who had pressed all of the glass for Heinrich and Schlevogt. In 1948 they were taken over by the government run Nationalized Czechoslovakian glassworks until 1990 when it was again privatized.

Beware, many items listed for sale on the internet as original 1930's pieces are not. There is a lot of mis-information about these pieces in the internet. The items are still being made today although current companies are marking the glass itself, until about 2000 glass was only marked with stickers.
