Really interesting reading about the Kavalier glass.  I'm sure that hasn't been mentioned on here before and it's always good to learn about something new.  Thank you.

In the history of glass it was always rare and expensive to find RED glass, as GOLD was part of its formulation.
Everything changed when in 1832 an extraordinary man
Friedrich Egermann
he found a way to produce Ruby Red glass of unmatched beauty at standard prices. With characteristic design patterns that have continued to be produced until 2021, the year in which the firm closed due to bankruptcy due to Covi and high gas prices.

Friedrich Egermann
encontró la manera de producir un vidrio Rojo Rubí de inigualable belleza a precios estándar. Con unos patrones de diseño característicos que se han seguido produciendo hasta 2021 año en que  la firma cerró al entrar en quiebra por el Covi y los altos precios del Gas.

These vases by Jaroslav Svoboda constituted an exception in Škrdlovice's (1969)production: for their unusual coloring and for their double functionality as individual vases or the possibility of being grouped modularly for use in architecture or interior design.
Estos jarrones de Jaroslav Svoboda constituyeron una excepción en la producción de Škrdlovice (1969): por su colorido no habitual y por su doble funcionalidad como jarrones individuales o la posibilidad de ser agrupados modularmente para su uso en arquitectura o el diseño de interiores.

Someone said that there are three great passions that move humanity:
POWER / MONEY / and SEX. And that can be summarized in one: SEX..............
........is this true? ------ !Caramba!!
Alguien dijo que son tres las grandes pasiones que mueven a la humanidad:
PODER / DINERO / y SEXSO. Y que se pueden resumir en una: SEXSO.............
........será esto cierto?. ----!Caramba!! -----

and there are those who claim that extraterrestrials are governed by the same passions
and that they can be summarized in the same way. !! Caramba!!...!!Caramba!!
y hay quien afirma que los extraterrestres se rigen por las mismas pasiones
y que se pueden  resumir de igual manera.  !! Caramba!!...!!Caramba!!

MARTELÉ.
In the times of <Art Nouveau> this type of glass became fashionable.
Gallé, Daum…in France. Consolidated,Phoenix… in the U.S.A.
In Bohemia: Loetz, Rindskopf, ,Kralik…
The last one gave greater emphasis to this unique texture. Its iridescent and pearly pieces, with fruity applications, are very beautiful and appreciated.
