figural rose colored nudes and blue threaded glass, footed decanter is 9.25" tall....Bimini and Orplid Glass: if ever there was a glass artist whose work is misunderstood in a major way, it must be Fritz Lampl's Bimini Glass. If you look on ebay, there is sometimes an amazing amount of mis-representation. The problem is not so serious for Lampl's later work in London, where he set up Orplid glass, because he used brass button backs which were clearly marked and there are plenty of pictures of Orplid Glass. If you would like to see genuine examples of Bimini and Orplid glass, then take a look at the new article on the Glass Museum at http://www.glass.co.nz/bimini.htm. Raymond Berger, the author of this article, is the late Fritz Lampl's nephew, and son of Joseph Berger, another of the founders of Bimini Glass. One reason why there is such difficulty identifying Bimini Glass is that Fritz Lampl and Joseph Berger fled Austria just before WWII leaving behind everything but a few possessions. Many items from their studio in Vienna were given to the museum there and Waltraud Neuwirth wrote an excellent book on Bimini when she was a curator at that museum. Her book is hard to find, and written in German
