The maker and country of origin of this set is unknown at this point in time.

Seen in crystal, amber, green, blue and pink in a clear and frosted finish.
The bowl and stand has the same interlocking ring pattern as seen on the bowl of the Kneeling Lady set.
The bowl and stand are the same as the previous set but the vases are different.
Below is a clearer picture of the Tauben (pigeons) vases that is seen in the set above.

Should you know of a catalogue that can confirm the maker of this vase please let me know.

TAUBEN (pigeons) vase made by Libochvoice Glass.
As seen and number 1584 in the Libochovice 1958 catalogue.
Libochovice were a Czechoslovakian company.

It is 25 cm (10") high
Seen in crystal, amber, green, blue and pink in a clear and frosted finish.

TAUBEN vase made by Rosice Glass.
As seen and numbered 2472 in the Rosice 1958 catalogue.
Rosice were a Czechoslovakian company.

It is 25 cm (10") high.
Colours likely are crystal, amber, green, blue and pink in a clear and frosted finish.

Note the differences in the shape of the vases and design of the Tauben (pigeons) pictured below.

Pictured below is a page from a Josef Inwald 1940 glass catalogue.
Seen is a bowl #11936 and under plate #11971 which have an interlocking ring pattern that is similar in design to that is seen on the Kneeling Lady bowl set and Bowl and Tauben (pigeons) vases on Stand.

It is possible that one of Josef Inwalds glass factories could have also made the Kneeling lady set and the Bowl and vases on stand set.

Should you know of a catalogue that can confirm the maker of the Kneeling Lady bowl set and Bowl and Tauben (pigeons) vases on stand set please let me know.
