Pressed glass set -- cloud glass -- Walther Oralit?
« on: April 27, 2013, 06:10:24 PM »
Not my area at all, but I liked these:

I would think a set (bought together, and same colourway) of a bowl (14.5 cm diameter) and a small vase/container (7 cm high); both have a cloudy pattern in purple, the bowl is satinated at the outside, the vase at the inside.
The vase has a mark to the base reading "Latinglas"; unfortunately Google doesn't come up with anything.

I guess Walther "Oralit" is quite probable? And would that date the pieces to the 1930s?
I was looking through the pattern books on Pamela's great site, but not really sucessful.

Any more info very much appreciated!
Thanks,
Michael

Hi Michael,
it reads ´Satinglas´ - hence the lack of results probably.  ;D
Satinglas was traded by Paul & Stäglich GmbH Dresden in the 30´s. Here are a few pieces in Pamela´s
collection:
http://www.pressglas-pavillon.de/vasen/06853.html
It wasn´t known who made them or assumed P&S might have produced them, but if I remember correctly
a friend of mine wrote an article in ´Der Glasfreund´ on this topic in which he proved that Satinglas was
indeed produced by Walther. Personally I´ve never seen a cloud-glass piece with this mark.
Unfortunately I didn´t read the article yet, because I don´t get that magazine, but I´ll drop him a line
and go asking.

edit: the bowls a Walther ´Orla´  BTW

Dirk, thanks a lot for your profound reply!

Well, I should learn to read properly at last ;D

So, despite of the same decoration not really a set.
But I guess the similarity strongly points towards the "Satinglas" vase being Walther production as well...

Seconded  :D
Here's a catalogue of distributors Paul&Stäglich, Dresden which Hans contributed to glas-musterbuch.de - year unknown but several patterns known as Walther and other Saxonia manufacturers.

Die Erfahrung lehrt, dass, wer auf irgendeinem Gebiet zu sammeln anfängt, eine Wandlung in seiner Seele anheben spürt. Er wird ein freudiger Mensch, den eine tiefere Teilnahme erfüllt, und ein offeneres Verständnis für die Dinge dieser Welt bewegt seine Seele.
Experience teaches that anyone who begins to collect in any field can feel a change in his soul. He becomes a joyful man filled with a deeper empathy, and a more open understanding moves his soul.
Alfred Lichtwark (1852-1914)
