I am confident they are too.

I have however been told by someone they are not genuine as they are unmarked, at that all St Louis Crystal Glasses were marked.  The person in question says they contacted the company directly.

Can anyone shed any light on the matter please?

Sometimes marked means a label and we know what happens to them.

it is not all marked and yes it looks the real thing. further info from here:

Thanks for the replys.

The reason I am asking is because I sold these to someone on ebay.
They did not pay for the item, they contacted me (after some time..) stating that they were contacted by St Louis Crystal and that they stated all genuine glasses were marked, and the glasses could therefore not be genuine.  They then stated that St Louis Crystal would be starting a listing violation against my account.  The person says they are awaiting a reply about there authenticity from St Louis.

Any more info, making the attribution more concrete would really be helpful.

Best Regards

Saint Louis will not contact e-bay buyers in an aftermarket. FULL STOP.  What a load of BS!

I thought so too.

Yes, it is however possible he/she contacted St Louis Crystal for information and possibly she was told by an employee wrongly that all St Louis Glasses were marked.  (Which is probably true for the modern ones) I think she has sent them pictures and is waiting for them to get back to her.

Many luxury Glassworks companys on the whole have lost out on sales due to ebay, so i'm a bit worried there interests would lye in the buyer favour.

Saint-Louis have no interest in the aftermarket. and justly so.
