Cathy a side topic is fine with me. In Andy's defense if he used as a reference the 1998 Glass Digest by Bill Walker he may have picked up the name (at that time) Woodland. When the Wheeling Decorating reference was published in 2003 the glass collectors found the correct name Wheeling called this etch which was Fox & Hounds. Now I am assuming that comments made were pertaining to a comparison of like treatments or influence of same were referring to molded treatments & my observations were & are simply that both treatments named are not molded patterns, they are acid etches & animal, mythical animal, hunt scene, figural, etc. acid etches or silver overlay patterns abound in many US manufacturers & US decorating companies (chiefly Lotus & Wheeling decorators) treatments. Were there pressed/molded treatments in this genre, yes, however my comments were directed specifically to "Deerwood" & "Woodland" which are acid etches not molded treatments.
I concluded this when reading the comments "These inspired a rash of derivatives, some of which mathced Moser's quality, while others were cheaply pressed , produced by companies including Inwald, Brockwitz and Walther & Soehne, whose catalogues illustrated them into the mid-1930s. Several American glassworks produced copies of Fipop, between 19227 and 1933, including US Glass and Paden City Glass variously naming it Woodland and Deerwood, featuring typical Bohemian scenes of stags, foals and rabbits in woodland (p. 81)." I was referring to the "cheaply pressed" statement versus acid etching just to make this clear. Ken
