Someone has told me that they read in a book on Czech glass that during the War, after Germany had invaded, the west was unable to access glass items from the Czech manufacturers, so popular lines were commissioned to be made from copied molds in Japan, by the suppliers in the US. This makes sense but of course is not set in concrete. It also makes sense that they would have been unlikely to use US makers because of copyright issues, which were not a factor in Japan at the time. So, the person telling me this wondered if the date of manufacture on this would be between 1939 and 1941 when America entered the war against Japan.
Does anyone know anything about this?
thanks
