This is a follow up  article about the GALLEON LAMP.
​See Archived article dated May 2018>>
​ A collector in Holland has kindly alerted me to an article on the  Pressglas Korrespondenz web site that gives a name to the maker of this figurine.
I have extracted the relevant information from this article dated 2017/2/06 on this German web site that credits Josef Riedel as the maker. I have included the article below.

Pressglas-Korrespondenz    2017-2
Eduard Stopfer, Marion & Rolf Gerlach,, SG Mai 2019/ August 2017 Segelschiff
als Lampenvorsatz: Josef Riedel, Gablonz an der Neiße, vor 1938.


Vor einiger Zeit hatte ich das Glück, dieses Segelschiff zu erwerben.
Maße: H 20,5 cm, B 7 cm, L 15,5 cm, bernstein-farben. Auf der Rückseite hat dieses Schiff eine kreis-förmige Ausnehmung, die auf dem Bild deutlich zu sehen ist.Der Sockel ist hohl. Die Ausführung ist exzellent! Die Herkunft war mir zunächst unbekannt. Bei einem Besuch im Muzeum skla a bižutérie v Jablonci nad Nisou / Museum für Glas und Bijouterie, Gablonz an der Neiße, zeigte ich ein Foto Dr. Petr Nový, Chefkurator im Museum.
Er erinnerte sich, das Bild schon einmal gesehen zu haben.
Nach einer längeren Suchaktion im Archiv fand er dieses Schiff.
Es wurde von der Glasfabrik Josef Riedel in Unterpolaun vor 1938 produziert und hatte die Artikelnummer 1946.

Sailing ship as lamp attachment: Josef Riedel, Gablonz an der Neisse, before 1938.
Some time ago I was lucky enough to buy this sailing ship.
​Dimensions: H 20.5 cm, W 7 cm, L 15.5 cm, in amber.
This ship has a circular recess on the back, which can be clearly seen in the picture.The base is hollow.
The execution is excellent! the origin was initially unknown to me.
During a visit to the Muzeum skla a bižutérie v Jablonci nad Nisou / Museum for Glass and Bijouterie, Gablonz an der Neisse,I showed a photo to Dr. Petr Nový, chief curator in the museum, he remembered seeing the picture before.
After a long search in the archive, he found this ship.
It was produced by the Josef Riedel glass factory in Unterpolaun before 1938 and had the article number 1946.

If this figurine is to be used as a lamp it will require a light fitting or a plinth with a light attachment for illumination.

Included as a point of interest, and pictured below is a GALLEON flower frog where the Maker and Country of Origin is unknown.
When comparing the design features of both objects the similarities suggest that they may have been made by the same maker.
