Schrotter/Inwald and Boule/Candlewick (Now partially imaged)

Sklounion:
We have good knowledge about the sequence of events that meant Rudolf Schrotter's "Lord" pattern of 1922, being made in the UK, as "Jacobean". See for example:

http://www.cloudglass.com/ClaytonMayers.htm

Now does anyone know the full story behind another of his designs, "Boule" of 1935,

http://www.sklounion.com/Schrotterboule.jpg

and why so many companies seem to have made it as "Candlewick"?

A few examples:
Libbey,
Imperial
Anchor Hocking,
Hughes
Clambroth

Was it made also in the UK?

I'm intrigued because Schrotter must have put more glass on more dining-tables than most designers. "Boule" for example was not the only pattern introduced in 1935, as "Pollax" another Schrotter design began to leave Inwald the same year. I have also a reference to a pattern which went into production in 1940, but which, as yet I have not managed to identify. Any suggestions as to what that pattern might have been?

"Perforal" was 1947

"Zwiebel Muster"?

By the way, just for the avoidance of doubt (though I know you are fully aware Marcus, but just in case any readers are not) although Jacobean aka Lord was made in the UK, the pattern was also being made in Czechoslovakia for some time.

Edited to add: PS Clambroth is a colour, isn't it?

Glen:
Clambroth = a strange and hard to define yellowish color that is sometimes described as "ginger ale". In Carnival it is one of these schizophrenic colors that some people believe is an iridescent effect only, while others say it is also a base color.

Frankly I'd prefer to eat it.  :shock: Perfect for a chilly day like today.

Connie:
Glen - I have also seen the term "clambroth" used to describe a opaline translucent glass which is grayish cream in color.

Glen:
Connie - oh! Goodness  :shock:  I can quite imagine that too. Isn't it amazing what terms we glass collectors/researchers use. That makes the term clambroth even more confusing, doesn't it? I even see some pale and wishy washy marigold described as clambroth (when it's really just poor marigold).

Thanks for the extra info, Connie.
