Topic: very plain pressed glass...ID probably Inwald's "Teplitz"

[Sklounion]

Hi Jay, Pamela and all,

IMHO, this is probably Inwald's "Teplitz" range. Designed by Rudolf
Schrötter between 1936 and 1945. A very limited number (12) of products made up the range. This pattern is shown in the product catalogue of Vereinigte Böhmische Glasindustrie A.G., the name used for Josef Inwald, by the forces occupying the Sudetenland between 1938 and 1945.
Product catalogue page 30. No exact date for the catalogue, but contemporary.
The two items on Jay's site appear to be a bowl (product number 12347/B), which was produced in five sizes, and divided plate, produced in three sizes, pattern number 12368.

Regards,


Marcus

This would also fit the 'distribution' of the items. They are often found alongside the 'Boule' (Inwald) pattern, and alongside bullet vases, during our scavenging. Certainly there is plenty of Inwald (post war) to be found in The Netherlands.

Actually judging by the large number of 'repro' deco designs now 'flooding' into the antiques markets form that corner, the trade with that part of the world is still very strong today!

Many thanks Marcus!

P.S.
Five 'deep' bowls (yes, they probably 'nested')
3 hors d'oevres plates (fairly typical)
I know that there are two? flat 'gateaux plates!?
What are the other listed items? Is there any indication of colours?

Hi Jay,
Teplitz is arguably a dessert service.
Non-lipped bowl, patt no 12347/A in five sizes
Lipped bowl, 12347/B in five sizes
Creamer 12381
Footed lipped, fruit bowl, 12367
Footed lipped shallow fruit dish, 12390
Flat base non-lipped, deep fruit bowl 12363
Footed, lipped bowl with underplate 12369
Footed, lipped bowl 12370
Covered dish 12396
Plate, flat, 12356 in five sizes including 280mm therefore gateau???
Plate, raised rim, 12357, five sizes including 265mm likewise tortenplatte???
Divided serving plate 12368.
No colour range indicated, but I would think that the standard full Inwald colour range would have been available.

Regards,

Marcus

Many thanks, Marcus.

No problem, Jay.
I would like to point out that there is now very little pressed glass capacity left in the Czech and Slovak Republics. IMHO, the long production runs involved with many of these patterns, suggests that there are still very high volumes of these items finding their way to secondary markets, rather than massive quantities of "repro" Inwald patterns being made. I know of only one Czech manufacturer, still producing any Inwald/Sklo Union patterns, and then only Schrötter's "Perforal" pattern designed in 1947, and poor definition items from the "Barolac" range.
Regards,
Marcus

I recently received the following contibution from one of my readers.

"Je vous envois ces quelques photos pour vous permettre d' identifier cette coupe qui provient du Val Saint Lambert en Belgique.Elle porte toujours l' étiquette "LUXVAL" et est marquée en relief " BELGE "

From another source there has been the suggestion that the pattern is called 'Eclats. If anybody can confirm this from catalogues then it would be much appreciated and we can tie this up?!
