Stew, this remains unknown, however, here's a complete set on my pages:
labelled No. 826480 Made in Czechoslovakia (http://pressglas-pavillon.de/tafelaufsaetze/09552.html)
Your turn to investigate which import co. registered this item and when? ;D
Thank you!

Hello. Has the origin of this glass been explained? Do you know who and when registered this number 826480?

Design/Reg. No. 826480 was recorded with the U.K. Board of Trade on 23rd February 1938 and allocated to Loewenstein Hecht - and on the 26th of the same month they were allocated a further Reg. No. 826532, though without visiting TNA at Kew I've not the slightest idea what that design was for - hopefully someone else will be able to tell us. Correction - I should look more carefully - the origin is shown on the partial label on the glass.
P.S. The '30s were an active period for Continental imports with U.K. BoT Reg. Nos., particularly those imports from eastern Europe. According to the Glass Association Blue Book, Loewenstein Hecht appear to have Registered eleven designs between March 1932 and February 1938, and like most similar sources, these were likely brought to an end by the advent of W.W. II.
It may be of interest to record the other Registrations:-
771822 - 22.03.1932
790374 - 16.02.1934
801221 - 14.03.1935
808456 - 09.12.1935
808507 - 11.12.1935
809309 - 24.01.1936
817673 - 20.01.1937
819188 - 17.03.1937
820972 - 20.06.1937
Off-hand I've no idea as to the actual designs.
-
Just my uneducated opinion - and despite the name on the label - Loewenstein Hecht seemed to have more of a German ring than Czechoslovakian.
-
I've seen this attributed to Schweig and Muller which I think is a good possibility. Paul, the borders in the area of western Czechoslovakia used to be very fluid and included Bohemia and the infamous German speaking Sudetenland. It's also of course possible that Loewenstein Hecht were a German/Jewish company.

Hi - thanks Nev. - I should have added - though it's probably already been commented on - that the Registrant is almost certainly an agent/importer only - great shame that the Kew archives don't give the maker's name too.
-
Hi. Thanks for your replies.
But there is a problem with Glashüttenwerke Germania Schweig (Müller & Co.) - it ceased to exist in 1912. :(
-
That surprises me as I thought the company (Muller & co.) existed into the 1930's as there are lots of references to them online producing figurines etc up until that time.
-
Here I found information about this glassworks. This is a bit surprising.

Unfortunately my schoolboy German isn't that good and there isn't a translator, but I do understand that the company was incorporated into VLG. This linked site has several pieces attributed to Müller and also a link to Pressglas-Korrespondenz for further information.
