Add a touch of vintage charm to your home with this Walther Glas candy dish. August Walther founded his glassworks in 1888 at Ottendorf-Okrilla near Dresden, and called it August Walther & Sohne AG. They produced a wide range of table ware and ornamental glass, and they are best known for their art deco figurines and designs from the 1930s. Walther merged with Saxonian Glass company in 1932 and became "Sachsische Glasfabrik August Walther and Sohne AG". After WW2 the company was nationalised and became "VEB Sachsenglas", continuing to make many of the same designs from the same molds and export them, principally to England, and in ever-decreasing volumes. By the mid 1960s it had become very difficult for East German companies to export into Western Europe. In addition the original moulds which had been used by August Walther from 1933-1939 were by this time totally worn out, and new moulds would be needed if production of these items was to continue. VEB Sachsenglas decided in 1965 to stop the production of pressed glass from August Walther moulds for these reasons. The company continued to operate until about 1990 when East & West Germany were unified. Most of the glass works in Eastern Germany were closed following unification, and VEB Sachsenglas was one of them. (INV #17)
