Glass Message Board

Puting back in the big show case  the clear glass ring holder of the Brockwitz set 03036 ( see my posting and photo of this morning) my eye caught some... other ring holders.... Examining one more carefully I found at my surprise a  Rd number : Rd 64088. Never noticed before.
 I found on internet that it should be  Sowerby....
Anybody an idea if this might be correct. If so, has anybody ever seen the rest of the set?
The ring holder mesures 9 x 9 cm

Hi,
Im new here, so If I get this wrong, I apologise in advance !
Can anyone who knows thier millefiore paperweights identify this one.... I normally only collect murano and the odd bit of caithness.... but I found this one at a car boot sale at the weekend, and it just, well has a feeling of quality... so I was wondering, can anyone tell me if its a good one, or did I waste my Ł2 :-/
Hope youcan help, and thank you in anticpation
regards
Sue

Welcome to the board. Unless they have labels how do you know your "Murano" fish really are from Murano? Perhaps they are all Romanian. The Romanian glass industry certainly isn't new and Romanian glass is often misidentified, like so much other glass, as Murano.

Here the clear glass ring holder of this set. 
I'm wondering, by the way,  if it's correct what Agincourt17 says in his posting of March 30th.  I think 30% and 25% is not about the lead content but about the extra fee you had to pay if you wanted items in pink or green.  In clear glass the ring holder would cost 22,50 Mark;  in rosé or edelgrün there was an "Aufschlag" of 25%-30%. So an increase of the price.

Seems to be some action, not sure for how long though, here's the Home page with the usual links to all the other section
