I just also want to appreciate their great ability. We all know that people of this century was able to make different glass products easily because they have the machine. But, the Murano glassmakers were able to create it with their bear hands! See, they are really great and people should appreciate their contribution on Italy’s culture.

There is a new forum where you can identify your 20th century ceramics & glass, with an extensive database on over 100 West German ceramic companies, in fact most European ceramic companies are included too.

We have a huge Scandinavian Glass section with almost every factory including their histories posted.

It is free to join, and active participating members get to link their website link to the forum. We have members across the world.

Come and take a look, as a guest you can only see the ID my ceramic & glass sections as well as other members websites.

Unfortunately you cannot see the 1000s of images of identified pieces unless you join.

Other board members include both Forrest Poston & Mark Hill, along with myself brings the number of West German Pottery authors to three.
