Topic: Slumped glass - not Chance but 'Pastell'

Snapped this with my phone earlier, a small triangular dish, hope it is useful for reference.

That is a gothic s, so it reads " pastell " , same meaning as in englisch.

For the GU part we'll have to wait for David. I don't think it is Flabegg Union, it may be Marsberger.

That's very similar to some of the lampshades we see about.  Good to see the label!

There is a set here with same label: http://www.bidorbuy.co.za/item/162484134/VINTAGE_GERMAN_PASTELL_16pc_PLATE_GLASS_SET_c1950s_1960s.html which the seller suggests might be Gretsch-Unitas - but they seem to be a manufacturer of windows, doors, etc. and their history page makes no mention of slumped ware.

Ah, thank you Ivo, not Paftell but Pastell. The examples to be found online all seem to be pastel colours - perhaps the reason for the brand name.

My thanks to Anne too as I suspect the title has been corrected!
