VEB Sachsen Glass came about when August Walther and SöHNE
became part of the nationalization of companies located in East Germany  following the end of World War II

Figural Flower Float Bowl Sets made by VEB Sachsenglas.
​
Görlitz Flower Float bowl set 
Picture
​The 1961  catalogue name of these four piece sets is  Görlitz.
The Figual flower frog is  17cm (6
¾) high in two pieces.
The float bowl is 26.5cm (10½") in diameter.
Colours likely are crystal, amber, green, blue and pink in a clear and frosted finish.
​I have not seen an example of this set since I started collecting float bowl sets in 1999.
​Should you have or know of the existence of one of these sets please let me know and if possible email me a picture.
Pictured below is a page from a VEB Sachsen Glass 1961 catalogue.

​Also pictured on this 1961 catalogue page is a bowl set named Dianna.
The very same bowl set is seen in the August Walther & S
ÖHNE 1936 catalogue pictured below,however it named Undine.

​Another point of interest is the name Lilli given the figurine in the Dianna bowl set and Gorlitz bowl set shown in the 1961 catalogue.

Whilst the name Lilli has been given to both of these figurines, they are the totally  different in appearance.
