Title: Bird etched Crystals. ID = Hofbauer , Germany
Post by: bmorgan on December 25, 2014, 03:03:08 AM

My mom bought these bird crystal bowls and top during the early 80's at Luria and Sons.   Can you please tell Id the manufacturer for me.   The Bird bow is 4" height with a 7-1/2 diameter at the top - with the top/lid is 6-1/2" height , the total  height is 10-1/2" high.  I have also pictured a footed bowl that is 4" height with a 7-1/2 diameter.  Thank you.
