Topic: Glass vase with bird - ID = Hofbauer

[Galle]

So is there a relationship between Anna Hütte and Hofbauer (other than they are not the prettiest pieces in the glass world?)

[Frank]

The Hofbauer birds were made by Nachtmann, if they owned Anna Hütte that might be a link.

There is a link:  Annahütte in Windischeschenbach, West Germany, which was a crystal glassworks which apparently went bankrupt.  It was owned by the Hofbauers. There is a potted history here in German: http://www.heimatverein-altenstadt.de/Glasindustrie.php
