This is not mine, but I was asked for ID. NorthGerman owner bought it in Glasgow.
No marks at all.
Anyone any idea?
TIA

My mum used to have a set of dishes like this (I think, though I vaguely remember the lines being sharper -- but then I'm talking a thousand years ago.) Mum said they were glass (I was very young at the time!) and that they were very popular with young jewish couples as this meant they didn't need to get two sets to keep a kosher kitchen. (Because glass is not porous, while ceramics are.)
