From what I can translate (please correct me if I am wrong)
it seems the owner wrote to PK asking for information on their goblet. It appears to me from what was said in the article:
that the colours (transparent dark green and red have been pictured) were not possible colours for mid 19thc original St Louis (His goblet is estimated to date from the later 20thc I think?). The goat goblet was originally made by St Louis in 1870 in clear glass.
These goat pieces had been known about previously and research had been ongoing to try and find from whence they originated as they appeared to be copies of original St Louis 19th c pieces. Eventually someone was found who it seemed had purchased a job lot of IVIMA produced items, some of which were these goat items. In addition to which a catalogue of IVIMA was found from 1901 that pictured my goat goblet and a handled stein with a goat on.
I think it is my goblet design pictured in that IVIMA catalogue? But the goat goblet is also pictured in the St Louis catalogue.
So what I probably need to know is, is my goblet early 20th c repro from IVIMA, or is it more recent than that? I assume it is not a St Louis of any time period, as far as I can see judging by the way the mould is made).
