Bohemian, Czechoslovakian or Austrian Tango cordial set with original decanter. The most unusual and rare Tango set I've ever had. Excellent condition no issues, only some manufacturing flaws (bubbles). Very small and light weight set, I was told before, this set was made by Bimini Werkstatte. and was designed by Michael Powolny. According to Alfredo Villanueva Collado (http://sites.google.com/site/loetzandglass/Home), this set is definitely Kralik and not Bimini. I must accept his opinion, so let's call this set Kralik Tango. Thank you Alfredo!!!
Comparing with a usual Czechoslovakian Tango glass
Definitely handmede pieces. All of them are a little bit different.
The stopper is hollow and looks like a jalapeño pepper :o))
Very thin and delicate
Perfect Tango orange-red color in the bowl, but the stem and the base is amethist, not black.
The decanter have many tiny air bubbles. Hopefully they are visible in the picture.
Amethist base and stem.
Huge Bohemian Tango vase. No imperfections and no damage of any kind. (The comparing piece next to the vase is an average wine glass.) Silver overlay clear glass stem and base, the upper part is cased Tango glass with silver composit enamel decoration. This rose design was made by a very skilful artist. In one opinion this piece could be Harrach, but absolutely not sure.

I purchased this set as "Czech vaseline Tango". I don't think so. The colors remind me Steuben's "Ivory and mirror black". Very nicely done, absolutely perfect with no manufacturing flaws, not even a tiny bubble. They are green fluorescent under black light The cup is attached to the underplate. Unmarked.
This set reminds me Loetz, but not cased and quite thin. Unmarked
Amethist color through the light.
Unmarked
I saw them on eBay as Steuben. Very heavy cased glass with thick sterling silver overlay. The stem and the base is completly covered with silver. The glass itself is unmarked, the silver is marked sterling.
The glass itself is unmarked, the silver is marked sterling.
I know almost nothing about this vase. I purchased it as Czech, but someone told me, it was Tiffin glass. The decoration is kind of brass and silver color metallic paint and enamel. Unmarked
