Would anyone know the time period this piece was made?
Thank you all in advance!

Hello John,
Thank you for the links.
I still could not see Ivima mentioned or a time period for the mark.
Did see some other company names through the years, but not really an Ivima reference.
I'll certainly keep looking too.

it is pre 1998 when they merged into the Atlantis group. Other than that, brush up your german.

Hi Ivo,
I had looked at that link on the other topic, but I saw another link on Google from the link you showed.
In between the lines it says that IVIMA changed its name to NOVA IVIMA in 1986.
So the IVIMA mark must be before 1986.

"The glass plant in Marinha Grande IVIMA
(Founded in 1895 - abandoned around 2003)
NOVA IVIMA in 1998 by ATLANTIS
GROUP bought around 2003 and abandoned"
