<p>[QUOTE="ola402, post: 4359915, member: 182"]I have a reference book on Verlys which I think in 15 years I've opened about 6 times, now 7. This piece would have been made by Verlys in France, not Holophane. Holophane mostly made glass stuff for commercial applications, like lens for lights etc. But for awhile (since they were a subsidiary of Verlys) Holophane made some of their moulds here in the US (in Ohio close to where I live). Then Heisey rented a few moulds and made some pieces and then Fenton bought some of the moulds and made several items and continued to make them for some years. The Heisey/Verlys and Fenton/Verlys pieces were quite beautiful and sold well. Many still do but I haven't seen too many lately. Perhaps if you look at Glass Etch and Pattern Gallery (under Verlys AND xxx) you can find some good photos.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
