Looks saleable to me as long as it is properly described (with photos), someone will be interested at a reduced price. I have no idea what that might be though.

Hello, The possibilities for this, as a house that produced it would include Rückle, as Steven said. Similar pieces were also produced by Kralik and Welz.  Although this is not an example, one should also be aware that there is similar glass to this currently being produced in the Czech Republic..... although I do not believe current production is being done in a satin finish.....at least I have not seen a modern example in that finish.

The shape of the foot on this one, particularly the reverse angle of the bottom edge, which I refer to as a reverse bevel, would lead me toward Welz or Kralik as the production house..... Welz used the reverse bevel foot on far  more pieces than Kralik did.

The only real positive affirmation of an attribution would likely come from finding a piece in a unique decor by one of these companies in the same shape.....  

It is a nice piece, and definitely worth selling..... someone will want it....

edit in: I have added an image of a pair of labeled Welz examples in a similar decor that is not a satin finish...

I'd say Kralik as well, these have a slightly rough rim anyway, still worth around £15 in that state.

Thankyou all so much! I will pursue some of your suggestions and see what I can find. Will definitely give it a go on ebay.

Can you let me know the ebay item number please  :thup:

if that is not breaking the site rules, moderators  :X:

Jeanne, to avoid posting links to live sales in Glass, which would get moved out, you should post a link to your sale into our Glass Market Place. That will give anyone here the chance to view and bid should they want to and hopefully will do well for you. :thup:

I will do that. I am not sure quite when it will be. Our ebay sellers name is 'emhretail' (Earl Mountbatten Hospice). We do often have pieces od IOW glass donated and we usually sell those on ebay so I will link those in future. Thanks for all your help. I will post a link to this thread when I put it on too.
