Title: Pressed uranium bowl with fish, shells, seaweed and starfish. ID = Reich
Post by: glassobsessed on April 11, 2017, 04:57:37 PM
A largish bowl (23cm diameter, 13cm tall), as far as I can tell not by Barolac, did manage to find one other example online from an old auction but that seller had no idea who made it either.

Any ideas who might have made them?

S. Reich & Co., date will be mid to late thirties or thereabouts :)

From Pamela's excellent site:

And the 1936 catalogue entry from Glas-musterbuch.de (no. 8713)

Fantastic Steven, thank you very much. When I looked on pressglas-pavillon I completely missed it, it was the first place I went. Since then, over a period of several weeks I have floundered around t'internet.

The pressing seems nicely done to me, the pattern is quite a deep relief.

Yay!  ;D
I suspect I need instructions on how to search Pamela's site. I get lost. :-[

Can we move this to Czech/ Bohemia rather than Germany please? S. Reich & Co. are from Krasno in what was then Czechoslovakia... ;)
