Title: Green glass dressing table set - all glows under UV light
Post by: SamC on July 16, 2016, 10:17:31 AM: Hi
I'm wondering if anyone can identify the maker(s) of the attached set. No identifying markers on any of the pieces. Not sure of age. My Mum had them as a child and she was born in 1946. May have been my Nan's before her though.
Many thanks.
Sam

I'm pretty sure the tray hasn't been ID'd yet.

The measurements don't give any clues either. It's 11.75 x 8.25 x 5/8 inches or 30.0 x 21.0 x 1.5 cms.

~~I have a lidded bowl but it's not one in the original set picture.~~ Mod: see new topic http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,65928.0.html (http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,65928.0.html) for this item and follow up posts
Not sure which candle stick is the original - if either!

Post by: Anne on October 03, 2019, 12:25:27 AM: The tray, unlidded pot and ring holder are all mystery set #5 here https://www.glasstrinketsets.com/Gallery/thumbnails.php?album=8 (https://www.glasstrinketsets.com/Gallery/thumbnails.php?album=8).
The lidded pot looks like Walther Prismen, but a closeup view of the lid and base would help to confirm. https://www.glasstrinketsets.com/cms3/german/walther/prisme (https://www.glasstrinketsets.com/cms3/german/walther/prisme)n

Post by: NevB on February 04, 2020, 02:08:32 PM: The tall candlestick and lidded pot look like Libochovice 1700, the mystery 058 candlesticks look the same.

Post by: Anne on February 17, 2020, 01:20:55 AM: There are some curious differences between Walther Prismen and Libochovice 1700.

If you compare the catalogues, the pattern on the pot lids you can spot the difference easily as the Walther one has a wider spaced spear-pointed pattern on the lid, whilst the Libochovice one has a narrower closer together spear-pointed pattern.

The Libochovice 1700 candlestick catalogue image appears to have the same spear-pointed pattern round the candle cup, but the Walther Prismen one is totally plain.

But, and there has to be a BUT, eh... the tray which seems to be Libochovice is most often seen with the pot with the Walther lid and the plain candlestick!
