Topic: New Year's Eve Conundrum - Mystery Face Jugs and Beakers

I feel the same way too. Seen one, heard about one, but no definitive information 

Thanks for all the feedback so far. Nice to feel that others have a shared sense of inquisitiveness

Mike, I asked the person with the amber/peachy frosted face jug, and I'm afraid he didn't know who produced it.  He's sold it now (he's got a shop selling mainly 20th Century glass) and presumed it was possibly Czech.  He said he'd seen a set of harlequin (assorted colours) tumblers, of which you have one - so you can look out for the others at least. 

I didn't realise the face jug I saw was actually for sale, so I'm a bit disgruntled that I missed it - as I'd picked it up and admired it - I think they're great.  If you do find any information on your items, perhaps you could drop us a line here, and I'll do the same if I find anything out.

I thought I would refresh this posting as some people may have been *cough cough* chemically challenged  over the  New Year and not on line.......

Hi Mike
Does your green tumbler contain uranium and glow bright green under a UV light?

Michael,

I have the same pitcher and beakers/mugs. Mine are amber and I have the pitcher and six beakers.
Did you ever find out who made them?

Took me a couple of days going through links I'd saved over the years. All I can say is that this site believes its Walther & I have absolutely no idea whether or not that is accurate. Just scroll down & you'll see it. Ken

Thank you very much for your help.

Hi Ken, I'd be a little leery of that attribution, to be honest, if they were Walther I'd think that Pamela or Siegmar would have turned up an entry in a catalogue for them somewhere... and a scan through their listings shows that a few of their items are mis-attributed.

Hey Anne. Yeah I wasn't certain it was correct, but figured I'd pass it along just in case. Ken.

Found this one on ebay - unfortunately it's not attributed.
