[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4598033, member: 2844"]It is a pretty generic cut, which was also made in Europe. It may even have originated in Europe. Extremely unlikely, especially when Yugoslavia had a glass making tradition, and it had crystal and glass manufacturing regions of world fame to the west (Italy), and further north (Bohemia and Germany). The silver is likely Italian, the glass could be too. American glass and crystal are a local thing, and virtually unknown in Europe. Europe exported glass and crystal to America, not the other way around. Only Europeans who have lived in North America will have come across it. Yugoslavian marks were used in Yugoslavia, so they can't have been used in Austria-Hungary.;) Yugoslavia is a 20th century post-Austro-Hungarian nation name which means South Slavia, an independent geo-political union of several south Slavic nations and regions. This union began to fall apart in 1991. So Yugoslavian by definition means post-Austria-Hungary, post-Ottoman Empire, post Kingdom of Serbia, etc, etc.[/QUOTE]
