Title: MMM Trier =????
Post by: Ivo on March 11, 2007, 02:22:14 PM

I found a vase on the market today with tin crackle - the type that is usually associated with Leerdam; only this time it had an original label.

Red and silver foil,  three letters M surrounding a circle, in the middle the word TRIER.  sorry no pic. 

Anyone seen the MMM label before?  I could not find a glass industry in Trier (a.k.a. Trèves) so it might be a distributor...

A better description would help, lacking a picture...
Are the 3 m's curved around the circle or is the circle imposed over them ???

Ha! I found the mark is TRIEM
Any takers?

Tri Emme would be Italian, no?

Could TRIEM be a play on the words 3 M's ?

Thanks but that is from a company listing - a small judicial services bureau near Amsterdam having nothing to do with glass.

And yes Conny, Triem = Tri M ("Emme") = three M's in Italian
