Walther Glass Like Moser?
Glen:
Barbara - Walther's Carnival is not marked. In fact not much Carnival is marked (well, the older, Classic Carnival that is). Northwood marked some of theirs, Riihimaki and Karhula marked some of their CG too. Sowerby...very occasionally, has a peacock. Some of the Aussie Carnival has an RD and some of the Indian made Carnival is also marked. Having said all that - the bulk of Carnival Glass is not trademarked.
I am not aware that Walther's Cloud is marked. I do have a cloud bowl (see above) with a W but no definite attribution as yet (er, I think).
And re. your note:
--- Quote ---I have noticed that alot of Walther glass is mis-attributed on ebay and also "proper" auction houses.

I'd add that quite a lot of European Carnival is mis-attributed as well. Not as much as it used to be though, I'm glad to say.
Hope you have a great holiday.

Is the Walther cloud and carnival glass marked? I haven't seen any marks on the bowls or frogs I have had.

Hi Barbara
Of the 200 plus pieces of Walther cloud that I own or have access to I have not yet come across a single piece that is marked upon the glass....which is why Glens sepia bowl intrigues me.... more so as I am not aware of another manufacturer of the period having made cloud glass in sepia either.
Glen
As you have some 1930's Walther catalogues ( I believe ) have you found this bowl in them. It does not necessarily have to be in the Oralit section as I have pieces that are to be found in other parts of the catalogues.

Gareth and Glen,
would it worth buying that moser like vase for the mark on the base? As so much is unmarked.
Gareth,
What colour do you call sepia, it brings to mind the faded photo's of my late family that are dragged out at Christmas, and all looking as though they are awaiting the firing squad :lol: Why weren't they allowed to smile at least?

Glen:
Gareth - some good news and some bad news. Plus a correction. First of all, I think the bowl is not sepia, but is amber. My apologies. And now the bad news.....I don't know where the darned bowl is. I've hunted through a few boxes but it's not there. We have a lot of boxes - mostly Carnival, but lots of other stuff too.
Now the good news - I have found the photos. Hooray.

Now I will go through the Walther catalogues and see if I can find it.

Glen:
Let's throw a wild card into this discussion. I have also found a photo (I store them away a bit like my glass. Surprise, surprise when I find them. Nobody can ever accuse me of being organised) of a mystery piece of Carnival that has a W on a sticker.

And now I had better scour my catalogues again and see if I can figure out who made it.
Barbara, only buy the vase if you love it, love it, love it. To test if I should buy a piece of glass I do my own patent "Glen's Walk Away" test. Imagine you're looking at the glass, you want it, but you're not really, really sure. So, mentally, walk away from it. Leave it on the stall where someone else might just walk up and buy it. How do you feel now?
Are you shrugging your shoulders? Then don't buy it.
Are you bereft, wish you'd bought it, can't bear to think of it on someone else's shelf under a spotlight? Then run back and get it. Quick.
Glen
