Just Googled it, "north pole glassworks", shocked that in the short timespan that this thread made 4th place :o But it gives lots of hits :fr: 123,000 :24:

3088 Kris Kringle Dr, North Pole, AK http://www.insiderpages.com/s/AK/NorthPole/GlassWork clearly their sleigh window service is just a smokescreen. But they make no mention of the Merri mark and as they lack a website my suspicions are aroused.

p.s. did you check fact file?

Meri Lasi......did you check it out JP?
Title: Re: Anyone know who marks glass Merri
Post by: Ivo on July 03, 2011, 12:01:05 PM: Meri Lasi is a valid manufacturer - but religious scenes on acid and a number does not sound right. Try posting a picture, that always helps...

I saw a nice moulded plate acid finish religious scene with moulded mark Merri and an etched B and three numbers . any info please .

??????

Just throwing this out there -- Since it is a Religious Scene with a moulded mark (merri) -- could the molded mark be the name of the Religious person? As there is info on the Net about a Saint Merri ( and St. Merri).

Maybe that is just the name of the Religious person on the plate (the title of the Plate)..... and maybe we should be looking more at the etched B, and the 3 number as to the Maker................or maybe some glass designer *made* a set of glass Plates for the names of certain Churches....

These are ALL guesses... :thud: :wsh:
