Pink and clear "vidermeyer"?

(1/2) > >>

Bit:
I have a large decantor my aunt says is "vidermeyer glass"?  I have not found anything matching so far--figured someone here might know.
Thanks

A picture would be useful - but failing that, do you think it could be Biedermeier rather than Vidermeyer?
A bit of a shot in the dark I know - but does it look anything like this glass?

I have no idea whether the glass shown is authentic Biedermeier or not - just thought Beidermeier and Vidermeyer sound almost the same.
I'm probably digging myself into a great hole of ignorance here.

:D As far as I know, B's and V's are sort of interchangable in Russian, and I'd agree with you that this is a likely error :idea:  :idea: ! I've got a few nice oil-lamps to bring in a little more light!

Good Morning,
Biedermeier Glass generally refers to glass produced in Bavaria/Bohemia during the time period of 1830-1880 plus or minus. An article on the glass of this era can be found at: http://www.auctionbytes.com/cab/abu/y205/m04/abu0140/s06

I can assure you that the various pieces of Biedermeier glass shown on my site, http://www.rubyglass.com/Glass/ArtGlass/Index.asp , are authentic, and in some cases dated on the piece by engraving or cutting.

Enjoy the beautiful pieces of intricate glass that is over 150 years old.

Jo in Australia:
Please forgive me. I didn't mean to cast aspersions on your site or your glass (which is beautiful). I'm sorry if it sounded that way.  :oops:  I meant I'm totally ignorant about the area. Thank you for the link.
