Pressed glass bowl with cherries pattern, diameter appr. 24 cm.

When I found it I was convinced it was Inwald / Barolac, but I guess it isn't. And searching the web and the board didn't come up with anything either.
Quality is quite nice, but I have no idea if it is old or quite recent...

Thanks for any help!

Michael

Great, thank you so much! :)
A name not in my focus obviously...

Not something I would want to collect to be honest :)

But it made a striking present (and would never have fit in my cupboards).

Mikasa is only a brand name but a lot of Mikasa glass is/was made by Walther Glass

Thank you Christine!
I was already admiring Anne for knowing in which sub board to move this topic :)

Do you think a 1970s / 80s timeframe is correct for these pieces?

Going through old pics and remembered this.
This was mine.  There is one like mine on Ebay at the moment with a label marked 'Walther Crystal  MIKASA  West Germany'.
The label is clear with the writing in black and the word MIKASA written diagonally from bottom left to top right.

Mine was enormously heavy and very big, like a large table centrepiece really.  Not sure if the label as I've described helps date but it might.
