I think you're right, and Gemtex is/was a distributer/importer. But the colour, according to the photographs anyway, probably discounts Holmegaard as their smoked glass has always had a heavy green tint to it, rather than purple.

I found a Gemtex Overseas, based in India, who manufacture/export handmade glassware and crystal...

Possibly the same folk, relocated? :lol:

Gematex are possibly defunct, but there exist 4 candidates, of which 1 is swiss, and the other three east european. (Kompass)

The listing actually says Genatex not Gemtex. Googling for Genatex gives results for reinforced PVC - used especially for covering slurry tanks & sileage - not the same thing at all! :roll:

The label, however says Gematex... adding even more confusion!!! :?

I think that as the label says Handmade for Gematex in Sweden we are looking at glasses made by one of the Swedish glasshouses for an exporter/wholesaler/distributor called Gematex; or for someone who used Gematex as their trade name or collection identity.
