[QUOTE="NTC Collector, post: 4502070, member: 16368"]Many thanks [USER=88]@bercrystal[/USER] - yes I was familiar with one of those articles so always wary of malachite. I too saw the mold line as a bad sign however the item clearly has age that others I see don’t, and the hardware is not new. The tube is metal not plastic but also not the glass I read many used. I’m curious that it’s not one I can find another example of making me think less likely very recent. However, this further article I found indicates some were redone in the 1950s as well so that could seem more possible and explain the mold lines and hardware. [URL]https://www.realorrepro.com/article/More-malachite-from-Czech-Republic[/URL] Another option is of the period but a lesser quality company - I collect Czech glass and that certainly happens for other wares. Thanks again, I’ll keep exploring to see what I can turn up.[/QUOTE]
