Hi to all!
Readers of SG Pressglas-Korrespondenz and many many more know that we all are looking for someone to reveal this mark! Thank you for your comment!
S V

I know absolutely zero about pressed glass, but Ivo's book has an Sv Sidonie: pressed glass in Slovakia. I suppose the Sv is a shortening of a name, and probably not what you're looking for - ah well...I tried to help! :D
Hope I don't look too silly for suggesting this. :oops: :oops:

Among milk glass collectors, the mark "SV" is presumed to be a mark of Vallerysthal and possibly stand for Societe Vallerysthal. However, I have never seen any definitive proof.
-
the SV that everybody is looking for is 99% certain French - and it is unlikely to be Valérysthal who used either Valérysthal in full, or PV for Portieux-Valérysthal. The mystery remains.
The Sv. in the Slovakian factory name is the Slavonic abbreviation for Sveti - Saint, so that does not bring us any closer. Thanks Max for looking it up.

This does not identify the S V marking, but just adds to the list of glass out there with the marking shown on it. This ice bucket is made from uranium/vaseline glass and the inset photo shows the SV mark on the inside bottom. It is 5" in diameter and 4 3/4" tall. The mold work shows tremendous detail on it!
