Hi,
Came across this, as you do.

Interesting that Salviati and Mikasa, both appear here.
Regards,

The flow of household names through international boundaries can be nothing short of phenomenal. On the down side the names while familiar have lost their connection with any qualities that made them known in the first place. Not to mention the difficulties in tracing original uses.

ARC have been representing Salviati for many years. Should you ever make it to Arques (Pas-de-Calais, near St. Omer)  make sure to visit their amazing showrooms.

I noticed this myself. ARC is mentioned in the Slumped & Transfer forum as contemporary suppliers of printed glassware as well.

Arc have owned Salviati for some time.  M Durand and his family take a very close personal interest. It was an honour to work with them a few years ago.
