<p>[QUOTE=&quot;say_it_slowly, post: 339370, member: 50&quot;]Here is some info in a discussion about another Sevres opaline piece. Not being a glass person....I can&#039;t really offer an opinion on yours but it&#039;s interest reading and the mark, when they post it later in the discussion, appears to be the same but someone else will probably know better.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,21164.msg119576.html#msg119576" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,21164.msg119576.html#msg119576" rel="nofollow">http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,21164.msg119576.html#msg119576</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Part of the discussion concerning <u>the mark on the piece from that forum</u> for anyone not wanting to click the link. Seems confusing to me and have no idea if correct or not.</p><p><br /></p><p><i><span style="color: #0000b3">The company signing Sevres is actually </span></i></p><p><i><span style="color: #0000b3"><br /></span></i></p><p><i><span style="color: #0000b3">Landier &amp; Sons (with Cristalleries De Seves as a kinda add on name)</span></i></p><p><i><span style="color: #0000b3"><br /></span></i></p><p><i><span style="color: #0000b3">As I understand it, and it gets very complicated, their relationship with Choisy-le-Roi wasn&#039;t the usual one - in the 30s Choisy-le-rois made clear and opalescent glass for lots of people eg A Hunebelle and Etling.&nbsp; After the war Sevres bought out Choisey-le-roi (moulds and all) and hence you see some 30s patterns from say Etling appearing in the 40s and 50s with Sevres signatures. The place was then being run by the ubiquitous Pierre D&#039;Avesn (ex Rene Lalique and Daum Employee) </span></i></p><p><i><span style="color: #0000b3"><br /></span></i></p><p><i><span style="color: #0000b3">So your piece is almost certainly post 1945 and could have originated from any one of the dozens of opalescent glass designers from before the war that used Choisey-le-roi as glass maker -not sure which though -its not a pattern I recognise from the more famous ones.</span></i>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
