Title: Acid etched glasses with gilt fish design - ID help please
Post by: Mosquito on June 15, 2007, 06:49:43 PM

I am hoping that someone may be able to help ID these drinking glasses. They have an acid etched design of fish and weeds, with the raised parts having a gilt finish. They stand approx 5 1/2 inches tall. I have no idea of origin but believe that they date c1930s-50s. They are both unsigned.

Secondly, a vase showing a similar technique but with a silver rather than gold finish. It stands approx. 8 1/4 inches tall and has a design of deer and trees against an acid etched sky and a further cut back pattern of mountains. Top rim is ground and polished, base is smooth with no obvious marks.

Old thread I know, but the drinking glasses do look like pieces by German manufacturer Füger und Taube >> Link (http://www.google.at/search?hl=de&q=f%C3%BCger+%26+taube&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&biw=1343&bih=895&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=XZp-T5zQHs2M4gSG8anFBw)

Not so sure about the silver finish vase...
