Ruby Goofus Glass Candlestick - ID = gold cold painted Portieux or Valérysthal

<< < (2/2)

Ivo:
I have the same dolphin candlestick in clear. It makes no difference if they were produced by Portieux or Valérysthal - items appear in both their catalogues. Both companies were working together closely even before the Franco-Prussian war, but when they found themselves on either side of the border it opened up the German market to Valérysthal.
Cold painting was common for the P&V items, especially over milk glass, but also the basic colour schemes are endless.

uncommonglass:
Thank you again Ivo.  I didn't know that was Franco-Prussian War.  Never was any good at history :)
