The ship tray in the Gradenberger Book 2A is shown on Glass Trinket Sets as Mystery 167, it has been suggested it too might be Rosice.

Thanks Mike, I've been able to update quite a lot on my website already

Glad to see the page has been of help to people.

Forgot to say, if you see any errors like dates, I'm not very good with anything after about 1900, please let me know so I can make changes.

Thanks
Mike

In the Gradenberg Book 1 there is a centrepiece bowl 4714/A which I've just spotted in the Yugoslavian section of Attributed Bowls here:

Another interesting find: http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,607.0.html 

This previously unknown three pears pattern bowl/ lidded pot is shown in the 1936 Sowerby catalogue on p.7, pattern name 'Enid'.

One more mystery solved: http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,26104.0.html confirmed as Rose Bowl T.2624 in Sowerby 1940 catalogue (p.9).

Another interesting find, and confirmation for what I have long suspected: the 1960s Sowerby Glass Leaflet includes a '2685 Vase' which is clearly from the same mould as Jobling's 11800 Celery Vase.

I have previously seen examples of the vase with no reg. no. showing, and in some non-joblingy colours, including a non-uranium green. Several also have sandblasted interiors and flanged rims, and the colours seemed more consistent with those of the Sowerby versions of the 'Bird Vase', a.k.a. 'Bird & Panel' Vase.

here are some examples I've noted before which I had suspected to be Sowerby production: http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,38352.0.html

Another snippet of information that may be useful about Gradenberger. According to the company history from their old website,
"GMA Glasformen GmbH was founded in 1949 by Stölzle AG and then carried the name of “Gradenberger Formen-und Maschinenfabrik G.m.b.H."
