Looks good to me, Antoinette.  ;)
If I know, I'll comment. If I think I know, I'll have a go. If I have no idea, I'll just keep quiet and learn from others, so the next time I'll know.

Thanks Della!!
I bought it last night on eBay for 40! there is a matching one same price but couldn't justify both as I also won a blue Davidson 'lady of the lake' piece for 35!!!

I've now blown my Xmas bonus pay - just need a bigger house!!!
At this moment in time I'll have the poshest bathroom in greater Manchester as my lake lady will have to temporarily park in the window sill!!!
(still I can justfy that as I just spent 35 on an acrylic shell design loo seat!!!

Lols!!!, THANX D!

Except your blue lady isn't Davidson. They didn't make figurals as far as I know. I think she's unknown. She also should have two mirrors to fit in the slots. She does have a very smackable bottom though.

The price was fine, just the attribution. She's Czech, I suspect.

 now got my 'Walther Windsor' but suspiciously like Luminarc!! Quality pretty poor - I almost expected to find an Argos reciepts in the bottom of the box!!!

Lols!
:0)

still it was only $40 and looks ok on the phone table away from the schmetterling!!!

Learning point if it's on eBay buy it now at 40quid it's probably a fake!!

Will keep looking for one in salmon pink to match the rest of my collection!!

After all the last risk on the 57 pound Schmetterling paid off and and she IS genuine and I LOVE her to bits!!!!

Post her on the ID board. [Mod: All now merged into one thread on Glass board] I think there are variants out there, but I also think they're old rather than new.

Walther Windsor - in FLINT Glass.. Fact or Fiction
« Reply #8 on: January 28, 2010, 12:13:27 AM »
Hi

I recently bought a Walther Windsor off ebay (bargain £40) but now its home im questioning its authenticity though the trader is lovely and prob has a good repuatation as its a business with very positive feedback.

Sorry im still not sure how to upload images on the forum here but this is the link:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260538399989

Can anyone advise..?
Thanks
Antoinette

Hi Antionette,

Posting the link to the eBay item is fine, but do you have permission to post the eBay image in here? If you do, please state that. If not, the image will be need to be removed in accordance with the Board Guidelines.
