Acid etched glasses with gilt fish design - ID help please
« on: June 15, 2007, 06:49:43 PM »
I am hoping that someone may be able to help ID these drinking glasses. They have an acid etched design of fish and weeds, with the raised parts having a gilt finish. They stand approx 5 1/2 inches tall. I have no idea of origin but believe that they date c1930s-50s. They are both unsigned.

Secondly, a vase showing a similar technique but with a silver rather than gold finish. It stands approx. 8 1/4 inches tall and has a design of deer and trees against an acid etched sky and a further cut back pattern of mountains. Top rim is ground and polished, base is smooth with no obvious marks.

Old thread I know, but the drinking glasses do look like pieces by German manufacturer Füger und Taube >> Link

Not so sure about the silver finish vase...
