« Last post by flying free on Yesterday at 11:45:31 AM »see page 181 and further on page 182 here for information on Erwin Pfohl. If I have read that correctly he only stayed at Josephinenhutte (Szklarska Poręba) for one year 1929.

'His younger brother Erwin Pfohl (1906-1976) took his place at Josephine. He was particularly talented and after graduating from the glass school in Bor he studied in Vienna and Paris. He stayed in Szklarska Poręba only for a year for the climate was too severe for him. He designed very modern, colorful projects which were launched at the end of the twenties of the 20th century. He introduced new techniques of decorating glass. He worked for Reich company in Berlin since 1930. In 1932 and 1934 he made artistic journeys to Paris.
Erwin designed for the Rachmann Brothers Company ....'
Obviously this doesn't preclude Josephinenhutte continuing to make the designs after he left however it could indicate they were only made for a short period of a year. Which may explain why there are so few around.
I think the ebay photograph comes from this book:

The book was published in 2009, 16 years ago. 16 years is enough time for more to have come to light so it's curious how few have been found.
