Topic: Wired flower place settings - dated Apr 1963. Czech? Italian??

[Max]

I've had this immaculate boxed set of gorgeous little place settings for years.  I thought they said 'Murano' on the box, but they don't.  Now I've got them out, the colours look Czech to me.  They're all a shade under 3". 

The box is dated '1 Apr 1963', so they're almost as old as me!   

I was going to put them on ebay, but don't think I'll get much for them...and they're just so gorgeous I think I'll have to keep them.

The wires are all covered in brown thread and there's a little loop to stick a place card under.  The bases of the little pots have a circular depression in them - not from a rod, but moulded in.

Anyone have any ideas about the country of origin?

Love them. Could be from anywhere add UK and Germany to your list.

If you tire of them...

Umm...you're right Frank, they could've come from just about anywhere really.  Crazy little things, aren't they?    I'll let you know if they need a new home at some point.
