Topic: Czech, perhaps Schalen and Teller do you think? - ID = Sowerby 2480

[Fen]

Couple of pressed glass matching bowls in a sort of blue that I would call Ice Blue. Six and a half inches long with a height that is three inches at the highest point and two inches at the lowest point. Thought they might be Czech from the 1940's?

[Ivo]

Don't know what it is but Schalen & Teller translates as Dishes and plates - so I am pretty sure that is not the maker.

[Fen]

I am going to crawl into a hole and never come out to play again!!

[Max]

Aww don't Fen!  I didn't know what Schalen and Teller was either!  It's quite funny though, isn't it?  :kissy:

[Ivo]

Please come out and play  :mus: we're not here to put you down  :fwr: or ridicule you for your German  :thup:. Hope someone manages to identify the bowl - it has a fab colour.

A bit closer to home than Czechoslovakia Fen... Sowerby 2480 boat dish - I have one in pink here...
http://yobunny.org.uk/gallery1/displayimage.php?pos=-796 and we've discussed them on the board here: http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,20051.0.html and here: http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,2623.0.html

Thank you, you're all very nice. I feel better now ( but let's keep it a secret - I haven't even told my husband, this is not an anecdote I want repeated at dinner parties!!)

[Anne]

Fen it can happen to the best of us! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/7899171.stm?lss

Fen, guess you've read Schalen + Teller on my pages. If you click on 'english language' in the left frame, should not happen again 
upper frame are shapes, left frame are manufacturers - if attributed.
And, a lot remains to do, some of my photos are more than doubled.... sorry 

Anne, thank you! I haven't got one similar, but the swirled star drove me crazy this afternoon.

You find it also on Walther (MINERVA, FRANKFURT, HAMBURG, ULM, GOSLAR {the latter four are all cities in Germany} and Kronenkristall TRAUBE grape + EXPRESS), mostly clockwise

and

Brockwitz (ELEKTRA, ANTIGONE) counter-clockwise as Fen's 

and

Annahütte (clockwise, in this case star at the base is matching) http://www.pressglas-pavillon.de/schalen/03604.html
Bernsdorf Ankerglas: could only indicate a late number (1950ies)

Closest match including Fen's bowls' base was Walther's 'Frankfurt' to me.

And this is the German one that covers all of the clockwises, but no exact match:

I always wondered whether perhaps this swirled star was made to match ALL patterns of the range?

Please be aware that all my info given here corresponds to glasses of Saxony, Germany - thank you! :angel:

Friend of mine drove back over the green border between Czechoslovakia and Germany not long after the curtain fell. He pinched a Czech road sign as a souvenir - but it was not until many months later that someone translated it for him as "Danger - minefield"....
