For today that's absolutely correct, however I've learnt from here that the region belonged to Poland from 1921 til 1939:

It's always too difficult to decide where to put the glassworks; the country  :huh: ::) :pb: of their time or the present  :thud:

Thank you anyway  :)

I see! Thanks Pamela, I didn't realise the border had changed. I was working from two sources, one an insulator site that insisted 'HEMAH' was Belarussian, then also SG's info about my vase being Polish. So it was one company, two countries...

I did not know. The modern language on the stamp made me think about that. Thank you.

 :hi: We always have the same problem with Bohemia ..... : Austria, Czech Republic, Checoslovaquia, Poland,..Germany for a short period  :wsh:

Niemen/Neman river - German name is Memel, German megalomania in Third Reich  :ooh:  :-X  :pb:

Neman pages: http://www.neman-crystal.com/en/index.php   established 1883 by Stolle  :D

claddagh:
It is a little strange to me. Firs, info on the site is saying "Glassworks “Neman” – is the enterprise with age-long glass melting traditions. In 1883 on the bank of the river Neman Julius Stolle and Wilhelm Krayevsky organized glass production."
and after that, another information shown- Zenon Lensky leases the guta to the chief engineer of the Dyadkovo glass works Wilhelm Krayevsky and the head of the art shop of the works Julius Stolle in 1897.

But I understand what Pamela meant, because this part became Russia in 1939
