Title: Help w/ Mark On France glass plates - ID = Verrerie D'Alsace
Post by: michellescove on June 13, 2007, 04:42:25 PM

Hello,
 I was guided here to see if anyone could help me figure out who made some glass plates that I have. They are a clear and frosted glass. The centers are marked with a slanted V A and a small D on top. And then marked France underneath.

 I found the same marking on a site, but can't identify it without paying.

 Here are my photos:

Michelle

Hello Michelle,

Your plates are by Rene Lalique, 'vases' pattern. VDA mark is for Verrerie D'Alsace, used briefly on pieces produced at Lalique's Wingen-sur-Moder plant c1921-23. Very nice.
