who copied a Bernsdorf pressed fish please
« on: July 06, 2010, 07:52:29 PM »
somewhere on the board in recent weeks - and I thought it was on Glass Events, but now can't find the source - there were examples shown of pressed 'blue fish' - like this one, in reference to an exhibition.    I see from Pamela's site that the originals were Bernsdorf ref. S.9/15 - No. 01556.    On the original there would have been in the dead centre of my second picture, a circular impressed decal with the word FOREIGN (in circular form).   Can the pressed glass experts remind me please who made these blue copies.    It may well have been a British manufacturer  -  in which case perhaps the mods. can move this post please.  The length of the dish is about 220mm.    Thanks for looking.     Paul S.
P.S.   I have ordered the three Sowerby discs., so if it's on on of those, then yes, I am acquiring the data for next time ;D

Not all Ankerglas Bernsdorf production was marked, what makes you think this is a copy?

These fish are extremely common in various colours and usually unmarked.

thanks to both of you.  ---   guess my assumptions getting me into trouble again?? :pb:   So is this more likely to be Bernsdorf, or might it be another pressed glass manufacturer?? - or is it impossible to determine. :)   thanks

Paul, I think your 'assumptions' were based on logic... and there's nothing wrong with that.  By the way, I really like this fish.   :)
