Clear Frosted Walther Mowen and Fish Flower Frog with strange base
« on: March 12, 2007, 04:37:58 AM »
Just wondering if anyone knows of other Walther pieces that have a clear glass base rather than a black base.  The piece pictured can be found in the 1936 Walther catalogue (called Mowen and Fische Schale) but is featured with a black glass base, not clear, though the pattern is exactly the same.  (Apologies for the poor photography - still haven't mastered the clear / frosted glass photo  ::))

Michelle, I can only contribute mine - no clear base known I'm afraid  ???

Die Erfahrung lehrt, dass, wer auf irgendeinem Gebiet zu sammeln anfängt, eine Wandlung in seiner Seele anheben spürt. Er wird ein freudiger Mensch, den eine tiefere Teilnahme erfüllt, und ein offeneres Verständnis für die Dinge dieser Welt bewegt seine Seele.
Experience teaches that anyone who begins to collect in any field can feel a change in his soul. He becomes a joyful man filled with a deeper empathy, and a more open understanding moves his soul.
Alfred Lichtwark (1852-1914)

Thanks Pamela.  I've looked over the base thoroughly and it is exactly the same as the known Walther black ones - very strange.  This is just my hunch but I suspect that it was made post WWII. ???
