Me mis-reading an entry......
I'm with you on the food...
Onion pattern??
I saw a set which may be the pattern on eBay.de, marked them for bidding, and missed them.... (Sorry Peter, I will get some soft-ware).

Glen:
Marcus - "Zwiebel Muster" - it's a strange pattern name, isn't it? The design features flowers and leaves on a stippled background.
Or another suggestion for your mystery 4th pattern -"Rex" (an interlocking diamond design, a bit like the things we used to draw with spirographs!)

The pattern in that auction in the US is often known collectively as "Colonial" Almost all the big glass makers made a similar pattern and they are a pain to differentiate. Hence I usually avoid buying unless they are extremely cheap.
Re: decribing patterns or glass using food terms is very familiar to me. As a veterianarian with post-doc training in veterinary pathology I was trained to describe disease, clinical signs, lesions etc. in terms of food. A day of veterinary pathology is enough to turn anyone off eating :P
paradisetrader:
While looking for pix of Pollax, I discovered a couple of links which I hope might be useful as well as illustrate some of these patterns.
Lord
Here's an old advert / catalog image showing the Lord service in a 1951 cataogue. (page down...near the end)
http://www.glassrevue.com/news.asp?nid=3214
Boule and Pollax are mentioned in the text towards the top in connection with Schrotter
but my Czech is sadly lacking :roll: and no images of those. :(
Boule / Pollax
Does this mention in Pressglas-Korrespondenz Anhang 21, Nový, Pressglas und Kristallerie im Isergebirge 2004-1-21
--- Quote ---Modegeschmack im Nutzpressglas übernahm
mit Erfolg auch die Firma Sklárny a rafinerie Josef Inwald,
Praha, für die Rudolf Schrötter kommerziell erfolgreiche,
funktionalistische, gepresste Nutzglas-
Garnituren „Durit“ und „Duritopal“ (1927-1929; aus
stoßfestem Glas), „Boule“ (1935) oder „Pollax“ entwarf.

suggest that Boule and Pollax are two names for the same design or am I reading it wrong ?
Candlewick(aka Boule)
Some pics here of Imperial's Candlewick along with original adverts from House and Garden, October 1956

Lord & Perforal
There are a couple of (not very good ) pics of Perforal and Lord here on the Teplice Museum website on the Rudolfova Huť page http://www.muzeum-teplice.cz/rudolfka/rudolfka.htm
and a better shot of a Perforal Cake Plate which seems to have been popular in the States (without name change !) here http://www.finecrystalitems.com/detail.aspx?ID=2070 Mod: Link dead
Bull, Argos and Orlow patterns ????
An article at the Teplice Museum site mentions three other designs: Bull, Argos and Orlow but no mention of Pollax and Boule.
http://www.muzeum-teplice.cz/historie/ema1003.htm
and a pic there but nothing to say which pattern it is !!!
Glen:
Boule and Pollax are different patterns.
Boule has the little ball (boule) shapes around the edge - while Pollax is plain edged with smooth lines.
