Title: Iris pattern Pressed / engraved plate. Second attempt!
Post by: Jay on April 18, 2007, 03:33:06 PM

In the past I asked for help with a smoke-coloured version of this pattern, but the thread got a bit distracted so perhaps this time....

Here is a gateau plate with side-plates in amber.

It's really a beautiful use of the technique but I'm not sure what the technique is!

My guess would be that the plates were pressed in a flat mould including the impressed design which was then 'satined' by hand?!
From the surrounding design I'm thinking of German and Czech factories as prime candidates?!

Hello Jay,

This is an Inwald pattern, illustrated in their 1934 catalogue, available from Pressglas-Korrespondenz here: http://pressglas-korrespondenz.de/archiv/pdf/pk-2006-4w-04-mb-inwald-1940.pdf  (towards the bottom of the page).
