I picked up this cream and sugar with the tray recently while on a trip to the Niagara area.  I was drawn to the pretty shade of blue, but didn’t know anything about the set, including its age.

I looked at a number of online sources to no avail and then posted it, with a request for an ID, on the great Everyday and Elegant Glass Forum.  It only took a day before the set was identified.  What a great network of glass afficionados!

Turns out that this set was made  in the 1930s by a glass company called the Inwold Glassworks of Prague, Czechoslovakia.  Here is a wee bit of information in its history –  http://www.museumportheimka.cz/vystava/inwald-the-story-of-a-glassworks/.  The line is called Perforal.  No idea of the name of the colour.

I would never have found this ID on my own as it didn’t occur to me that it may be a set from Europe.

I really have no idea where these pretty pieces were made or when.  I am taking my best guess from items I have seen online.  I had tall matching goblets to these pieces some time ago.

The glass is light and the pieces are hollow from top to bottom.

I’d love to know more about them.

This has such a pretty rich colour.  Ruby with hints of yellow, particularly in the dolphins.  The floral details on the base make this a very festive holiday piece.  Likely would have more of a Christmas feel with reindeer instead of the dolphins!
