Topic: Date for Barolac lidded dish ?

[Simba]

Just found this lovely opalescent Barolac piece in a charity shop last week...anyone got an idea of date please as I can't find it in the catalogues online...I thought 1930's ?

Well I am glad to have this ided as I have had one (although not opalescent) for at least a decade. Only info I ever had was from the International Perfume Bottle Collectors who said it was from the 60s, Czech imported to the U.S. in large quantity.

Thanks for that info Ohio and glad I helped with ID

Just found the base here page 15 says dates from from 1949/52

Hi

that particular greyish opalescence is normally attributed to a slightly earlier period  c1935ish

cheers

Although I don't read German the 1949-52 date appears in multiple places to refer to exporation dating. Wonder why its not shown with the lid...was the lid added later? Merry Xmas, Happy Holidays  everyone.

The pattern book of (estimated) 1949-1952 shows it complete with lid; it's just fact that the collector Mr. Stopfer at that time (2006) had got the base only.
Congratulations Angela, a beautiful find!
Merry Christmas everyone!

Yes Angela's opalescent version is so much better than the rather plain Jane I have that its not even funny. Transforms the piece entirely. Thanks Pamela for the explaination regarding the lid.  Ken
