Title: Stolle Neimen of Poland Ballerina Plate
Post by: Cathy B on December 20, 2006, 05:13:48 AM

I'm still trying to work out what 'turned under' and 'turned up' edge meant. Was that a description of the thickness at the edge?

By the way, here's another piece in the same family of pattern. I'd love to know who was responsible for it. This one has concave rays between the blocks, and an etched ballerina. Would it be related to Hortensja, I wonder?

BTW, Cathy's ballerina looks absolutely Portieux
there is this ashtray in my collection:

of which I was told from collectors in France that it is possibly Portieux  :o

Cathy - your ballerina dish was made by Stolle Niemen - POLAND. (Huty Szklane J. Stolle "Niemen" SP) circa 1926-1935

Lots more to add about this and other Polish patterns - it's going to take time to sort it all out.

Glen

Wow, brilliant Glen! Thanks so much again!
