Topic: Iridescent monogrammed clover shaped glasses

Those ones look more like Moser. It was a shape they used though the OP's are not Moser

Apologies for the delay in getting back.

Wow, many thanks to everyone for the contributions and interest, much appreciated. There's some very impressive research here!

The height of the wine glass is 135mm and the champagne 110mm so not a match for the French glasses but still a possibility.

I'll try to contact Lobmeyr (who didn't pioneer iridescent glass!) and see if they can throw any light on a possible attribution.

The information on the link I gave re Lobmeyr and iridescent glass on the carnival glass site appears to have been changed - it now talks about iridescent glass being developed by the Hungarian maker.

This was part of my reply #3 -

'On this carnival glass site there is some information taken from an 1878 journal 'Glass and Glassware' re Lobmeyr and the development of iridescent glass:
http://www.carnivalglassworldwide.com/lobmeyr.html
N.B. There was a Hungarian maker of iridescent glass who I thought was also an early developer of iridescent glass.  I will try and find a link, though not suggesting yours are from Hungary, just for interest. (Mark Hill wrote some information about this on his site as well).'


I think the information on that link now includes information on Leo Pantocsek:

http://www.carnivalglassworldwide.com/lobmeyr.html

and

They also have some more information on this link below, about Leo Valentin Pantocsek and his invention of iridescent glass:
http://www.carnivalglassworldwide.com/leo-valentin-pantocsek.html

On the above link they reference Attila Sik, and say:
'... It was here, probably around 1856, that Pantocsek created a technique for iridising glass.'
and
'“first iridescent works were shown and lauded at the lesser-known 1862 World's Fair [International Exposition] in London”.'

Thanks for the extra information. Rather interesting to note that in the article on Pantoscek, the first illustration on the left hand side is Lobmeyr quatrefoil glassware displayed at the 1873 Viennese World Exhibition. It's a bit more fancy than my two glasses but naturally exhibitors would show their best products at such a setting.

I spotted a similar shaped duo on here ascribed to Lobmeyr: http://www.artglassnouveau.com/phdi/p1.nsf/supppages/4523?opendocument&part=5 - scroll down to almost half way down the page.
