Drinking glasses question...

(1/3) > >>

Anne:
Can anyone suggest who may have made these glasses please? http://www.glaskilian.de/stemware/st327.html

I have six of them which my mother bought me in the mid-1990's and have often wondered who made them. There is no mark on them to identify the maker.

Glen:
Well, it's just a thought, but recent / contemporary Walther Glas can be found with hand painting on.

Hi Glen

I've seen quite a lot of modern Walther but none that exhibit free handpainting like that on Annes glasses.
 The multi-coloured ones, of which there are a number of on the link, I have always thought as different coloured glass.

Do you have a link to show Walther with this type of hand painting.

I believe there was a range in the 30's but restricted I think to just one or two specific styles, and not at comparable to this more delicate style....some of the 30's was almost Moorcroft looking.

Glen:
No Gareth, I don't have any info to back my suggestion up. It was really just that I wanted to help Anne with this question, so I thought I'd throw something into the arena which I had a vague "feeling" about in the hope that it might generate some more ideas.

I quite accept that I am not correct in my half hearted suggestion - and thanks for commenting  :shock:

Glen

Anne:
Glen and Gareth, thanks for the thoughts, much appreciated. :)

The glasses are comparatively recent - glaskilian shows them as c.1990 but mine were bought new around 1996-8 - I can't just remember exactly when. I know they weren't expensive at the time (about £1 each from etcetera from  memory!) so seeing them at 150 euros for 6 now just staggered me!  I have a niggle that they are eastern European perhaps. The design is engraved in the glass and then painted over the engraving. The bowls are optic ribbed and the stems are long and slender - very elegant - they scare my ham-fisted teenage son who won't go near them in case he breaks them!  They really are nice and look a lot more than £1's worth each. I'd love to know where they hail from though.
