Vanity Set, Blue fade to Clear, Baccarat-Moser-Palda-?????

oklahomasong:
I've been trying to ID this set for 30 years! About 5 years ago there was a set on eBay and that Seller thought it to be unsigned Baccarat. Others thought possible Moser. I purchased the "Collectible Bohemian Glass: 1915-1945, Vol. II by Robert and Deborah Truitt. On page 16, there are "pages from a Padla catalog, printed in 1935 to commemorate Palda's 50th anniversary" that had similar looking bottles... But any search over the years for Karl Palda and this vanity set have come up blank for me. I purchased this set around 30 years ago in Alexandria, Egypt.  Any ideas are greatly appreciated.  Thank you.

Just me,

Lovely set.  Im surprised that the stoppers don't match the decanters.  Really need an experts opinion.

oklahomasong:
Andy, thank you for the welcome.  :)

Bainsy, thank you for taking the time to look. I don't quite understand the "stoppers don't match the decanters."   Have you seen a set like this with different stoppers?  The faceted stoppers would appear to match the faceted finial on the covered jar, so I never thought about the possibility that they might not be original to the set. 

I have SO much to learn about glass, and I do so appreciate you all looking and commenting. 

Just me,

Andy:
Bainsy,
The stoppers all look all original too me !
I think its just the design, the finial on the little pot seems to be just the same, and must be
attached to the lid.
Maybe the design will give a clue to others on the origins?
Cheers
Andy
