structure of which is strikingly similar to that of the covered goblet from Haida (cat. no. 
203). 
Four glasses with almost black casings (cat. nos. 205-210) reached the museum 
through the Bakalowits Company (cat. nos. 205-210). The cut motifs of a bottle (cat. no. 
211) that also came to the collection through Bakalowits are similar, though a different 
colour is used. 
Both the Wiener Werkstätte and Haida school of glassmaking are specified as the orig- 
inators of single-cased glasses with corrugated walls and the resulting shapes achieved 
by vertical cutting. Many of these glasses were manufactured by Meitzer/Langenau (cat. 
nos. 212-215, 217); in his book published in 1925 Pazaurek notes Haida school of glass 
making as the designer and Meitzer/Langenau as the manufacturer of the three glasses 
illustrated in it (cat. no. 218). A vase which the museum acquired from Meitzer (cat. no. 
219) is attributed to Haida school of glassmaking in Contemporary literature (cat. no. 
216). 
We have already encountered the shape of the vertically cut vase with seven bulges in 
the section on crystal glass (cat. no. 95); this is compared here with the same shape 
with a blue casing (cat. no. 222). Another shape, but the same principie of cutting is 
found in a vase by Artel (cat. no. 223), while the cutting of dishes (cat. nos. 220-221) 
brings out deep triangulär motifs in the cased glass. Long red triangulär surfaces are 
also left in the cutting of a beer service by Artel (cat. no. 224), whiie Rosipal s designs 
for Artel are characterised by a lozenge-shaped motif which is varied and repeated de- 
pending on the size and shape of the glass (cat. nos. 225-231). 
A particularly exquisite piece of glass is an artistically cut vase by Haida school of glass 
making (cat. no. 232). Cut glass with a simple casing was frequently manufactured by 
Oertel/Haida for other designers; either to designs by Haida school of glassmaking 
(dish, cat. no. 235; centrepiece, cat. no. 237) or for the Wiener Werkstätte (cat. nos. 
241-242). Single-cased cut glass was also included in the ränge of Leopold Forstner’s 
“Edelglaswerke” in Stockerau (cat. nos. 233-234). 
A bottle by the Goldberg Company (cat. no. 238) has a similar violet casing to the 
centrepiece (cat. no. 237). A green cased box (cat. no. 240) was also manufactured by 
Goldberg. 
MULTICOLOURED CASINGS 
(cat. nos. 243-262, pp. 261-282) 
A vase with a red basis, covered by a crystal and a white casing in which leaf-like motifs 
have been cut (cat. no. 243) represents a special type of multi-layered glass. A typical 
colour combination with a double casing and decorative cut seam is red-black on a 
crystal basis, such as used for a vase (cat. no. 246) manufactured by Oertel/Haida to a 
design by Haida school of glassmaking. Another red-black cased covered vase by Jeli 
nek for Harrach/Neuwelt (cat. no. 247) features a charming cut motif. The same artist 
created a blue-green cased vase (cat. no. 248). 
A blue-black casing over a crystal basis was used for a jar (cat. no. 250) and severai 
vases (cat nos. 252, 257, 258, 261). Unusual colours are encountered in the yeilow- 
black casings of a vase (cat. no. 253), and it is not often that one finds white and blue 
cased vases (cat. no. 254) with vertical decoration. Two glasses in the collection of the 
Austrian museum (cat. nos. 255, 256) have a technically very complicated triple casing 
(white, blue, black). Most of the cased glassware mentioned above was produced by 
Oertel/Haida to designs by Haida school of glassmaking.
