Classic Arts/Egyptian Queen, Rindskopf   Updated 11/10/2009

The Classic Arts and Egyptian Queen patterns are very similar. Both have a frieze of nude figures; in Classic Arts the figures are playing musical instruments. All pieces are marigold with the frieze in a green stain that imitates weathered bronze. The known pieces are smallish bowls, rosebowls, powder jars and vases or tumblers. The vase or tumbler shapes vary between 5 3/4 inches and 7 1/2 inches tall, with the taller examples being worth a bit more. On the left above is a powder jar, then a vase/tumbler, then a rosebowl. Research by Glen and Steven Thistlewood confirms that the pattern was made by Josef Rindskopf of Czechoslovakia.
