Because Holmegaard isn't confusing enough.

Pinkspoons:
I'm not sure if either of them are Holmegaard, to be honest.

Both of the sets seem to have different colouring, but the smallest ones seem closer to a Holmegaard smoke colour. The tall ones look to have a hint of blue/purple in all of the pictures.

But it seems a little strange that someone would sticker a well-known manufacturer's glassware with the labels of a lesser-known company, so it's very possible that they're 'in the style of', bordering on plaguerism.

Pinkspoons:
Ah, you beat me to it, Marcus.  :lol:

The main reason I posted the link was for people to be a little cautious when buying this style of glass, for it seems all that is smokey is not Holmegaard.

Sklounion:
Nic,
As you say these may well be exactly what the ticket says, Maleras, and a "generic" but Swedish, production for Genatex.

Issues such as the glass colour help, but I would also expect there to be minor but sufficient differences, the rate of the curvature, a slightly wider rim, or larger or smaller height as well, to avoid litigation.

Regards,

Marcus

Pinkspoons:
You're right... Plaguerism is too strong a word... as is plagiarism  :lol:  (It's a Sunday, I'm allowed to be dozy!).

But the similarity of these two sets to Holmegaard's 'Copenhagen' range is still distinctly uncanny.

paradisetrader:
ooops I mis-read your original posting Nic. I thought you were saying that you KNOW that they are Holmegaard.

So Phew ...having cleared that up ...no I don't think they are all part of a matching set either and as you rightly point out the Maleras are unlikely to be stickered.....so that's 3 misunderstsndings cleared.

However I do think that Gemtex is more likely to be a wholesaler, retailer and/or importer and a maker unless anyone can disabuse me of that notion. If so, then that label tells us very little and does not necessarily preclude Holmegaard .....right ?
