Walther Muschel Question
Leni:
I wonder if any of our pressed glass experts (Pamela?) can help me with this. One often sees the Walther Muschel soap dish on ebay; the one with the mermaid with upraised arms and the soap dish sticking out in front of her. Pamela actually has one on her website with the shell balanced on the base, as it was meant to be, but usually they seem to have lost their shells.
I have a green (uranium glass) shell, which looks to be very similar glass (colour and fluorescence) to my Nymphen pieces, and I am wondering if it might be a Muschel shell. However, I can't see from the Muschel pictures whether it is the right size and shape. Can anyone tell me what the dimensions of the Muschel shell should be?
pamela:
Hi Leni :)
I've got the green and recently also a shiny pink one - going to measure them this afternoon and returning back to you later.

it is quite large, isn't it 8)
Leni:
Well, my shell isn't all that big, so I wonder if it's not the same one. Perhaps if I posted a pic someone would instantly say, "Oh no, that's not Walther, it's a ....." :roll: :oops:
pamela:
Muschel shell measures 22 cms long and 22,5 broad aproximately
it sits in the figurine in about these measures:
7 cm long and 7.5 width
difficult to explain Leni, as the shell is more than three levelled, if you know what I mean please
pamela:
Leni PLEASE post a picture of yours!
