It probably should be pointed out that Weisswasser is a place with several glass factories in its history, rather than the name of a specific company - much like Stourbridge, Murano, Empoli, et al.

hi Nic ...thanks for the very informative link....as i went to google...i found a lot of strange stuff but not this link.
have not found any examples of which one made what....but then its not the most exciting piece of glass i guess.
thanks anyway.
