Title: Glass Fly Dish
Post by: vambo on May 13, 2007, 09:42:16 AM

I'm sure I've seen this type of design somewhere before

And this one is etched to the base but i can't quite decipher it

I think it reads something like GRT Vclissere (???) France, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Paul :)

Doesn't that etching say 'Vannes France'?  Vannes made lots of fish and birds in clear glass so a fly isn't out of the question although I'm out of my comfort zone with this type of glass.

Excellent deciphering Pip, found the manufacturer straight away, it's Cristalleries de Vannes-le-Châtel, France, many thanks. ;)

You're welcome - I've seen the Vannes mark before (on here) and read about other pieces on this board so I guess it must at long last be sinking in! This really is a great place for learning about glass.
