The C.I.O collection, a brief history. In 1934 Henry Schlevoght, a Czechoslovakian artisan, introduced a line of art glass under the name of “Ingrid “. Mr. Schlevoght employed the finest craftsmen of his day, and his line was enormously successful. Tragically, in 1939, due to the outbreak of World War II, his success came to an abrupt halt. Mr. Schlevoght fled Czechoslovakia, leaving his glass molds behind. Now, more than 60 years later, the C.I.O. Collection is dedicated to locating and repairing what are believed to be the original vintage molds, and eventually re-issuing the works of art first created by these talented artisans.
CONDITION: Pristine, never displayed
