Topic: Green pressed glass 'quilted' effect dessert bowl set....Maker??

[pamela]

Glen, I wish to thank you very much too  :fwr:

Not only that I haven't seen Rosie's bowls, I also did not handle one of those Zabkowice patterns 1280 and 1281 'in the flesh'

 :fwr:  :fwr:  :fwr: Thank you Pamela and Rosie - and also Anne too for alerting me. I wish I could have answered the puzzle though  :cry:

 :rah: good news, Rosie, I traced a photo in Pressglas-Korrespondenz, unfortunately again the full catalogue is only visible to subscribers :

http://www.pressglas-korrespondenz.de/archiv/pdf/pk-2008-4w-05-mb-schwepnitz-1968.pdf

Following PK the maker is EITHER Schwepnitz OR Bernsdorf OR Sachsenglas, all three being members of their 'Verkaufsgemeinschaft' ('marketing pool');
no pattern name indicated, I'm afraid.

For those here who may verify this: photo # "11" of Abb. 2008-4-05/008 on page 11/15

How did I find it? Colour and 'orange-peel' structure led me to eastern Germany - that's all  :wsh:

Oh Pamela,  what can I say!!  You are absolutely wonderful!!   :hug:
Thank you so much. It is such a lovely set, and I treasure it....is their any indication of the age by any chance?

[pamela]

That catalogue was edited for 1968 Leipzig fair - most items of current production or new design for that special occasion, therefore absolutely 1960ies.

That makes sense Pamela, because I have had it about 30 years now, and it looked very new when I bought it and had  been used very little.....I have only used it a couple of times because I felt I would never get any replacements if any got broken, so really, it is in pristine condition, I'm pleased to say.

Thank you so much for your help on this....now I know it is a Bohemian?? (is that right?) set by EITHER Schwepnitz OR Bernsdorf OR Sachsenglas, and made in the 60's.  Yay!! :rah:
Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou  :kissy: .....and if you want any photos for your archives, please let me know,  you will be very welcome.

No it's East German.

[pamela]

It's lovely to see you're so pleased, Rosie!
Your nice set is of GDR German Democratic Republic origin, i.e. Saxonia  

I'm just now writing a mail to Mr. Anger of DDR-Design-Depot to probably obtain more details on the producing works and the designer - I return to you with his answer.

Mr. Anger has contributed to glas-musterbuch here: http://www.glas-musterbuch.de/VEB-Sachsenglas-1954.177.0.html

Thank you Christine, and thank you Pamela.....how nice that you are taking this much trouble.

I have looked at the files you have sent Pamela, and oh how I wish I spoke German.....you have such a wonderful command of English, I feel so humble....But, on the plus side, I speak fluent Swahili....but not very useful!!

Pictures are yours when you say the word. :fwr:
