Topic: 3 Pieces Of Amber Davidson-esque Glass - Belgian? Stolzle

[David E]

Know what you mean Adam: it's one of those patterns that niggles away! Another thought: Walther & Sohne?

Ah, just found the large bowl on eBay with 'Fait en Belgique" impressed on the base. With a place to start looking I Googled VSL and Scailmont, and found a near-identical pattern on Pamela's website under Belgium > Unknown.

Still, at least the pieces have a definite nationality now! Does the label imprint ring any bells with anyone now it can be linked with a country?

I don't suppose a helpful moderator could tweak the title a touch to divert relevant attention this way? Much obliged.

Czechoslovakian, Carl Stoelzle und Sohne, Hermanshutte.

Oh, thanks for that, Marcus.

Any idea why the piece I found on eBay claims a Belgian origin? A copy or a bit of licensing?

[Sklounion]

Hi Nic,
It remains unclear, why so many designs, known to have been made by Czech companies, appeared with "Fait Belgique" or similar.
In the case of British copies, there were complex legal manoeuvres, which made such copying possible, but this is discussed rather more fully in the forth-coming book.
Regards.
Marcus

Yes, I did a search of the site after my last post, and found a few threads bringing this issue up. Very confusing!

Ooh, have just spotted glue traces of the amber glasses' original label... It's hard to photograph, though. so I outlined the trace in black and then redrew the bits I can make out. There are two lines of text under the 'ME' bit, but I can't make them out.  

Just fully cross-referencing two threads (and quite unsubtly bumping the topic). The logo found on the bowl is also found on the following pitcher, but on a differently-shaped partial label. Once more, the 'Made In..." text on the label is illegible!
