I have bought a pink carafe with glasses.
Such carafes are mostly made in Bohemian, Czech Republic.
Is there anyone who knows the origin of the glassworks?
Measures: Height with stopper 23,5 cm without 16,5 cm
L x B = 12 x 7 cm
Glasses: L x B x H = 4,5 x 3,5 x 5,5 cm
Weight carafe 0,918 kg
Weight 6 glasses 0,560 kg
Thank you very much.

Hi. This looks very similar in faceted design to some examples shown in Andy McConnell’s The Decanter book on page 401. There are 17 decanters shown, none exactly the same but some of them have the same sort of neck that almost looks separate to the body, with the shoulder at the top of the body. One looks to have the same stopper. Unfortunately he is only able to identify them as Czechoslovakian, 1930s - some Moser &/or Riedel. Seems it might be hard tying down the exact maker as he says the records have mainly been lost and signed examples are rare.
Having said that, on the next page is an image from a Karl Palda 1935 catalogue. The image isn’t very clear, but your decanter looks very like the yellow one shown in the top right of the Cocktail sets catalogue page. Hopefully you can see the same picture on this Pinterest page, the image on the left hand side. https://www.pinterest.co.uk/katherinecostan/karl-palda-art-deco-glass-and-other-cool-things/ Maybe you can find a better copy for comparison.

If you search for Novy Bor (Czech glass centre) decanters there are references to various names including Haida and Karl Palda whom Ekimp mentioned.
