August Walther started a glassworks in Ottendorf-Okrilla in 1888 and became known for Art Deco pressed glass. Since 1932 the company was called Sächsische Glasfabrik August Walther & Söhne, after 1945 VEB Sachsenglas; pre-war molds remained in use until 1965. The 1934 model book shows this model as a dish with two handles: 29 cm, and 33.2 cm across the handles, as in this dish. Condition: In good vintage condition.

Shipping: Professionally packed in a sturdy box with cushioning material, for fragile objects a double box. Always insured shipping with Track and Trace. See feedback from previous buyers. Attribution and sources: Attributed to Walther & Söhne on the basis of the model 'Victoria', Walther model book 1934, Table 39. The press glass pavilion photo collection also shares examples with the mark 'FAIT EN BELGIQUE' by Walther 1933 in. After 1900 import tariffs in the United States and later other trade agreements forced manufacturers to mark their product with the country of origin. Those marks were not always accurate. Therefore, on German pressed glass from the thirties to fifties you sometimes see 'Belge', 'Belgique', or 'Fait en Belgique', even though it may not come from Belgium. No known Belgian factory made this kind of decorative pressed glass in this quality. Boom did not do it and Scailmont had the capability, but nothing is in their archives. The word 'Belge' is also registered as a trademark by the Belgian factory Pavillons, which does not list this model in its catalog. Collectors find these pieces more often in Germany than in Belgium. They show the characteristics of well-known German models, such as Walther, Inwald, and Brockwitz, in common colors. According to the researchers who studied this, it concerns another factory that adopted models, while there are Walther models that carry 'Belgique' themselves. The mark thus proves the brand, not the factory. This piece is attributed to Walther & Söhne on the basis of the model 'Viktoria'. Two points: Assumptions: 'Another factory' and 'Bohemia' are assumptions by collectors, not proof. The text above therefore does not mention Bohemia. Source: the rationale for the story is the BELGE page of Hogelandshoeve (Jay McLellan and Han Verhoeven, with Pamela Wessendorf). The Walther models with 'Belgique' come from the Glass Encyclopedia.
