AMELIA (AN) vase set.
Picture
The three piece  vase set pictured above is as seen and numbered only in the Brockwitz 1936  glass catalogue.

The description is written in four language's as follows -

Blumenschale mit Block und Figur - German.

Coupe a fleurs avec et figure -  French.

Bowl for flowers with block and figure - English.

Vaso para  flores con bloque y  figura - Spanish

No. 51900 A 

matt (Frosted)

The exact height of this set is unknown at this point in time.
Most likely to be similar in height as the SOPHIA vase set pictured below which is 35cm high.

The catalogue doesn't list the range of colours.
Colours likely are crystal, amber, green, blue and pink in a clear and frosted finish.  


SOPHIA (AN)vase set.

Picture
Picture
The three piece vase set pictured above is not seen in the Brockwitz 1936 glass catalogues.

It is 35cm high in pink with a clear and frosted finish.

Other colours likely are crystal, amber, green and blue in a clear and frosted finish.
Picture
The two piece figural flower frog pictured above is 23.7cm high.

The pictures and measurements of the Sophia vase set have been kindly given  to me by an Australian collector.
The difference between these two vase sets are the figurines.
 One has the Amelia figurine and the other the Sophia figurine.


The letters (AN) that appear  after the name of any item indicates that it has been named by me and stands for "Author's Name".
