I've seen these vases described as Val ST Lambert and Czech, do the experts fancy a vote on this? Cheers, Gill

I've seen smaller pieces in this pattern marked

'Made in Czechoslovakia'

So My vote is Czech

Cheers

Just to muddy the waters slightly, Pamela has a pink clear vase in this pattern listed as VSL on her wonderful website here: http://www.pressglas-pavillon.de/vasen/02640.html
and when I was at the 1st Northern Glass Fair last year (in Harrogate) there was a lady with a whole stall full of this stuff (mainly amber), which she had marked as Czech - some of them can be seen here:

I know we have discussed these before - see thread here for thoughts at that time: http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,2196.0.html

And I'll muddy the waters even more - I suspect there is another maker (that isn't Czech and isn't VSL). More about this when I can confirm further.

I'd also like to add that it is not without precedent that more than one factory should produce the same pattern. Two examples for now (there are more):

Brockwitz and Eda Glasbruks produced "Rose Garden" (Rosor / Rosas) items. There are specific details surrounding this.

Sowerby and Inwald produced "Pinwheel" - also a third manufacturer is very possible. Again, there are specific details.

Wow everyone, thanks! Had a look at the links, difficult to say isn't it, I must admit they "seemed" Czech to me before I saw Pamela's site, very interested in the third alternative Glen.

Hi to all!
Just a short notice on this one: my pressglas-pavillon site is not up to date unfortunately, especially in this item! :oops:
latest news from Hamburg is: it is NOT VSL
(I've returned from a short holiday trip an hour ago - it's nice to be back here!
