They are not listed in Carolus Hartmann's book"Glasmarken Lexicon" although he does record a "Saxonia Werk, vorm. Insam & Co. who made Einkochglas (whatever that was).
Thanks for checking that, Angela. The nearest I can get to Einkochglas is One Cook Glass - presumably meaning only heated once, or could it be glass made by only one person, like lampwork? (Glassmaker help needed here methinks!)
There is nothing like that in any of my three books on Russian glass. And Saxony glass is not in Pickvet's Encyclopedia of Glass and not in Glass A to Z. Saxony, of course, was not in Russia.
Again, thank you for looking it up in those. I'm thinking Saxony is the trade/range name perhaps, as Lynne said above... a bit like my elusive Astra Glass earlier turned out to be.
ps they look more like Scandinavian to me. But then, if she has a box!
That was my first thought as well but the colour doesn't seem to fit too well which the other Scandi stuff I've looked at. It's an odd pinky/brown, not a proper pink nor an amber brown.
It might not be the original box?
That's true enough Cathy. Mine weren't boxed when I found them, but the fact that there's a pair on eBay and I have a pair made me wonder if they were originally.
Most likely as Saxony is an anglicisation of the German Sachsen and USSR is also an anglicisation. Look for an English or American importer using the name. The State of Saxony was abolished in the East German division but has been reinstated since.
Ahhhh that's true, Frank. I think this may be a longer search than I first imagined it would be!
