ABOUT ME
Hi! My name is Jen and this is a little bit about myself. First, I must say this project was a lot of fun.
Like a book from my gradeschool years lol. I don’t know if children today still do book reports, but when
I was in school, they were required and boy did I dread reading the assigned books then having to
summarize them! I loved reading books that interested me and hopefully this will interest you. I created
it for anyone that needs help with identification. For the novice glass collectors that buy animal covered
dishes because they fall in love with the way they look or the type of animals they are, or simply for
their colors. For the avid collectors who enjoy buying a few of each animal regardless of the maker. For
the veteran collectors who may have hundreds of glass dishes who never cease to amaze me with their
beautiful collections. For the people that have inherited or purchased someone’s entire collection or
part of a collection and need help to identify things. For the people like me that are meticulous about
every detail needing to label things and just absolutely need to know the whats, whens, whos, hows and
whys of the animal dishes they own. For me, what started with one Asian yellow stained glass bunny on
a nest, has flourished into a full blown collection of hundreds of mixed and matched animal covered
“candy” dishes of all glass types and colors. No particular glass maker, just everything I can’t live
without. LOL. Anyone that knows me would tell you that I stop at nothing, studying book after book
searching for answers about my own glass animals until I find them. I have never been satisfied with a
mystery….unless it involves me watching Columbo, my lifelong favorite television program! I am a
mystery solver... a true detective. I get this from my Mother Cindy. I need to get to the bottom of a piece
of unidentified glass. It drives me bananas not to know everything I can about each piece that I own.
Next, I will tell you that the monetary value of my glassware means nothing to me. I collect it because I
love it. However, unique and rare is always a find! Sure, like every collector, I love a bargain and have
had to pass up many pieces that I could not afford. Ooooh the ones that got away. They haunt me. I can
assure you that when I get a new addition to my collection, it has found its forever home. Someone
before me and usually possibly before them owned these animal covered dishes making a kind of history
that I can only imagine in my mind, its importance to each person. There is a reason behind every single
glassware in every single dwelling. Glass symbolizes many things. It is proudly displayed. It is important
to the person who owns it. I enjoy seeing the happiness glassware brings to people, especially these
animal covered dishes. Who doesn’t love animals? I also enjoy seeing my collection knowing these
pieces of history live on and hope that when I am long gone, they will be in other homes. My glass
brings me peace; most peaceful in the evenings when the cabinet lights are on and the glass does its
natural thing; what it was intended to do since the day it was made...look pretty! To me, it is reminiscent
of having a year round Christmas Tree. Glass is AMAZING! I am a country girl through and through. I
love all things nature. I am an avid bird watcher and an all around animal lover. I live in the beautiful
state of Kentucky with my husband and our two dogs, Monkey and Johnnie, who by the way, is named
after my all time favorite singer, Johnny Cash.

von Streit glassworks
von Streit began as a glass wholesaler who exported to foreign countries, primarily
England, Italy and Sweden. In 1876, brothers Hugo and Wilhem von Streit obtained
a piece of land, and it was there they had employees hand painting glass in their
painting facility. Glass companies in close proximity sold glassware to the von
Streit brothers. Ohnstein & Lachmann, (same town of Schlesien, Germany), nearby
Samuel Reich & Co* (Morovia, Czech Republic), Brockwitz (Coswig, Germany) and
many more glassworks throughout the Lusatian Mountains (Czech, Bohemian
glass). You can check out the long history of the Lusatian glassworks here:
http://www.luzicke-hory.cz/historie/index.php?pg=clskloe In Berlin, Germany,
Sept. 1906, Gebruder von Streit Glaswerke GmbH Berlin was founded. Also in 1906,
was construction of a glass factory in Hohenbocka, near Hosena
(Brandenburg),Germany. Hosena/Hohenbocka was originally part of Silesia or
Silesian (Schlesien) Province. Silesia became part of Prussia which turned into
Germany. Hohenbocka station was the main railway to Berlin, which was 78 miles
north of Hosena. von Streit headquarters was in Berlin. With 120 employees, glass
productions began on December 18, 1907 at the Hosena-Hohenbocka plant.
According to an article by Karlheinz Feistner, plant manager in 1970 of the VEB
Glaswerk Hosena, the first things to be produced and shown in catalogs were:
drinking glasses, lamp glasses, table decorations, building glasses and toiletries. I
do not know if animal covered dishes fell under "table decorations". In 1913 these
animal covered dishes were advertised: (*NOTE that S. Reich & Co. occupied the
same building in Berlin as V.S. and any of these may have been made by Reich for
V.S. between 1880's-1913 though they were not officially introduced until 1913)
3436 Oval Cockerel Can - 6 3/4" long 1428 Oval Toy Duck Tin - 2 3/4" long

2257 Oval Dragon Box - 5 1/2" long

1025 Oval Pigeon Can - 7" long 1518 Oval Cow Box - 5 1/2" long

1806 Oval Duck Tin - 6 1/2" long 1537 Round Toy Cow Box - 2 1/4" round
1325 Oval Duck Box - 5 1/2" long 1100 Round Dog Head - 4" round
NOTE: The measurements may be slightly off because German measurements are
in MM (metric), which are not exact with Imperial standards of U.S. rulers.
In 1931, the company was sold to Mr. Josef Kaiser of Kaiser Coffee. The
company name remained the same and so did their headquarters in Berlin.
Production really expanded after this sale: Two gas furnaces were added and
expansions were made to the painting facility and grinding shop. The number
of employees grew to 370.
*One, unknown sized Hen Can was shown in 1900. Other animal covered dishes were shown in 1913.

von Streit GLASSWORKS
In 1940, men were being drafted into the military and glass production slowed way
down. At this time, multi-family housing was built at von Streit's factory for
glassmakers.
In 1941, von Streit Berlin's warehouse and sales room shut down. Headquarters
had already been moved to Hosena in 1935.
In 1943, von Streit glass facility avoided closure because they were needed to make
critical war items. During WWII, von Streit mainly produced Petri dishes for
laboratories. They also made glass for buildings that were bombed in Cologne
Germany and Dortmund Germany. During the 1939 to 1945 period the Royal Air
Force dropped 34,711 tons of bombs on the city of Cologne. von Streit was also
producing motorized vehicle headlight lenses.
After the war ended in 1945, glass production stopped. The Red Army (Soviet army
/ air force) confiscated the factory. The remaining glass employees were forced to
dismantle the entire glass factory. This lasted until Spring of 1946. Every single
piece of the factory was loaded onto 56 wagons and taken to Russia. Every book in
the factory was burned.
Meanwhile, during the dismantle, the glass manager of von Streit wrote to Saxony
and applied for permission to dispose of the factory items and was never
answered. It was recorded that 582,880 pieces of glass was packed into 1604 boxes
and taken to Russia, worth 264,787 Reichsmarks.
A few years after the war ended, von Streit started a factory in the free state of
Saxony. Dr Hernschier from the state government of Saxony took over the
management. Gebruder von Streit company was deleted from the commercial
register on Oct 14, 1948. It was not until Dec 10, 1952, that VEB Glaswerk Hosena,
VVB Glasindustrie Ost was entered in the new commercial register.
In 1991, machine and mould company WAN GmbH from Berlin, bought the von
Streit company with plans to upgrade and expand it. At the cost of 25 million
Deutschmarks, state-of-the-art renovations were done as required by the
automotive industry, but the orders weren't coming in. In 1993, the plant closed
and was torn down.
---Most of this history came from an article written by Former von Streit plant
manager, Karlheinz Feistner.--- Pressglas-Korrespondenz PK 2008-3 Pages 234-237

VON STREIT COw on OVAL weaved base
Gebrüder von Streit [Gebrüder von Streit Hosena Glassworks] produced No.
1272 Cow Box, oval. It was introduced in 1913 and was only shown in the
1913 catalog, therefore, it is unknown when Cow production ended. This
same Cow lid was paired with the oval "wooden wash tub base" for Cow
Box No. 1518. Cow 1518 was also labeled as 140 mm. Only the lids are the
same. No. 1272 Cow Box, oval is unmarked. 5 1/2" long.
No known reproductions. Maltsov's Dyatkovo Crystal, Zabkowice,
W.M.F. Glass and AA Importing each sold Cows on tubs with similar lids.

VON STREIT COW ON OVAL TUB
Gebrüder von Streit [Gebrüder von Streit Hosena Glassworks] produced No. 1518
Cow Box, oval. NOTE: S. Reich & Co. likely produced this Cow for von Streit
between 1879-1907. This may apply to other von Streit animal covered dishes, but
it is only evident with the Cows because ONLY the Cows have scratched out #.
Notice how there are two different # on the catalog cut out. It is said that the
scratched-out # went with the first production of Cows by Reich for von Streit in
Berlin and the handwritten # was the 1913 Cow of von Streit Hosena. von Streit did
not produce glass in Berlin, rather, they purchased glass from nearby factories and
hand painted it. In fact, von Streit even shared the same exact address as one of
Samuel Reich's pressed glass factories between 1888-1906. Reich was located at
Alexandrinenstraße 22 since 1874 and they registered lighting glass in 1879 at the
Berlin district court. The von Streit brothers registered in 1888 at the same address
in Berlin: Alexandrinenstraße 22. Other Reich locations were in Krásná and
Morovia, Czech Republic. von Streit bought pressed glass from each location. von
Streit headquarters and showroom remained in Berlin, but by 1906, all other
operations had moved to Hosena-Hohenbocka where they would press their own
glassware beginning December of 1907.
von Streit Cow on oval Tub was officially introduced in 1913 and was only shown in
the 1913 catalog, therefore it is unknown when the Cow production ended. There
was a Russian made Cow on Tub around the time of Reich/vonStreit Cow.
Maltsovs’ Dyatkovo Crystal [of Russia] showed a Cow on tub in a 1903 catalog. Huta
Szkła Ząbkowice [Ząbkowice glassworks of Poland] showed a Cow on tub in
1910/1920 catalogs. Some have only referenced the Zabkowice Cow from 1920
Zabkowice catalog, but it was indeed shown in 1910 and likely to have been made
much sooner, say around 1900. So, sometime between the first Reich/V.S of Berlin
Cow and the second V.S of Hosena Cow, came the Ząbkowice Cow. Huta Szkła
Ząbkowice and von Streit in Hosena were 277 miles apart. The Ząbkowice Cow
mold may have been bought from Reich or copied according to the Reich pattern.
Isn't it funny that in the old days these glass companies managed to copy one
other? Distance and logistics seemed not to matter. What is even crazier is that
Maltsovs' Dyatkovo Crystal factory (1903 Cow) was 1,057 miles from von Streit in
Berlin!! but somehow their Cow looks like the others.
The von Streit Cow is unmarked. 5 1/2" long.
Reroduced by Ząbkowice between 1910-1980's in several colors.
Reproduced by WMF Glass [Württembergische Metallwarenfabrik] of Germany
in 1976. Only in Crystal.
AA Importing sold Cow on Tub ca. 1983 in several colors including Crystal.

collection of Schumann
Dated 12/20/2013 Pressglas Korespondenz (PK) 2013-4/22 page 1 of 13, I found a letter
addressed to Mr. Seigmar Geiselberger from Karin Schumann. The letter contained
information about another German Cow on Tub maker: WMF [Württembergische
Metallwarenfabrik]. Herm Dix, of WMF Public Relations sent Schumann a copy of the
1976 WMF catalog cut out showing the Cow. This cow was only in crystal and may have
been mistaken all this time for von Streit, Ząbkowice or AA Importing Cows. Some
heads tilt left and some stay straight depending on maker. Three differences stood out
to me about the WMF cow: end of tail is bushy, there is no gap between the horns/ears
and the crystal color is different. Below, she showed all 3 colorless Cows together.

von streit Pigeons aka "lovebirds"
In Glass Collector's Digest Dec/Jan 1996 Volume IX No. 4, was an article by
Barbara A. Scott discussing von Streit Lovebird dishes. Photo A shows the
original lid atop an unusual base. There is
a 1/4" lip around the rim which makes
the dish look unstable. It doesn't even
seem to fit together when you take a
closer look. I imagine this is why the lid

was changed. Photo B shows the lid as
we know it, without the lip. This base
reminded me of the Leopold Lachmann
& Siegfried Ohnstein hen of 1896. O & L
did not produce their own glassware.
O & L, like von Streit purchased glass from
nearby glass factories. Samuel Reich & Co
and O & L were in the same town. Nearby
Samuel Reich & Co. most likely produced
this hen base which O & L purchased. The
hen on this base is in the O & L insignia.
Hen by Paulo Fabiano Mehl
S. Reich & Co registered lighting
glass in 1879 and in 1888, von
Streit was registered at the
same address as Reich. Reich made glass for von Streit. von Streit began
to produce their own glassware in 1907. The original von Streit Lovebirds

lid and base were also most likely produced by Samuel Reich & Co. between 1880-1907.
The 1913 Lovebirds were shown on the famous von Streit "Plumed Warrior" base.
According to Shirley Smith, author of Glass Hen on Nest Covered Dishes, the plumed
warrior was the mark of Gebrüder von Streit of Berlin 1888-1907 and of von Streit of
Hosena-Hohenbocka 1913. NOTE: Ohnstein & Lachmann Hen base also bears the
"plumed warrior" design. I believe O & L Hen and von Streit Lovebirds were produced
at the same glass factory and in my opinion, it was Reich because they made acd's for
von Streit. It couldn't have been Radeberg or Walther as previously suspected as these
men were family and had a joint-stock company deal going on between themselves.

VON STREIT tOY RAM
Gebrüder von Streit [Gebrüder von Streit Hosena Glassworks] produced
No. 2509 "Toy" Ram Can [or Box]. It was introduced in 1913 and was only
shown in the 1913 catalog, therefore it is unknown when Ram
production ended. The example from Chiarenza/Slater's book below
came with this description: "Both the base and the cover carry cryptic
registration numbers. The cover is marked M. S. 2509 and the base is
marked [M?] S. 2184". We can see on
the catalog list, the Ram is No. 2509
and the dish next to it is No. 2184.
Toy Ram Can is 3 1/2" high and around

von streit seagulls
Gebrüder von Streit [Gebrüder von Streit Hosena Glassworks] produced
Oval Seagull Boxes No. 2614 and No. 2635. Both were introduced in 1913
and were only shown in the 1913 catalog, and therefore unknown when
Seagulls' production ended. Gull No. 2416 was on the same flanged base as
No. 1806 Duck: smooth top, ridged underside with two rows of diamond
shaped feathers, all going the same direction. Unmarked 6 1/2" long.
Gull No. 2635 was shown under "Toys and Saltcellars, pressed". Because it
was shown with non-animal salts, we can say with certainty, the non
animals were the salts and this Gull was a Toy! Unmarked. 3 1/8" long.
No known reproductions.
