Topic: Victorian Amethyst/Jet Black Pressed Glass Wall Pocket - ID help please

[charliepedro]

Hi,

Does anyone have any inclinations as to the producer of this please? There are no makers marks present and I'm unable to find any other examples of these on the net.

Hope someone can help. Cheers, Charlene

not much help but at least another line for investigation, two examples both in the US - one is in marigold carnival and given as Austrian in origin

the other for comparison, in jet on Ebay

I think it's called Soda Gold in Carnival and was made by Imperial Glass, as I suspect is the black one. Austria is probably auctioneer licence

yes, agree about the auctioneer's license that's why I was suggesting a US search :-) Soda Gold looks right doesn't it, well done

Hi,

Thanks very much for your help with this - can't believe I didn't find the ebay listing myself, thought I'd done a reasonably thorough internet search - a lesson learnt there... Thanks again

All the best, Charlene
