Vintage Design
Made in Germany Walther and Sohne of Radeberg, 1930s – 1940s.
The company was well known for making high quality pressed glass. Some of their flint and coloured glass has been attributed to Sowerby of Gateshead.
Walther sold their Cloud Glass under the trade name ORALIT. The name brings to mind Davidson’s ORA Red Cloud Glass. It is not clear whether there was any business relationship between the two companies. It is more likely that the Walther company was trying to associate it’s products with Davidson’s well established Cloud Glass Line. The Oralit range appears to have been started in 1932, a few years after Davidson introduced ORA.

The three-footed bowl has a smooth interior and and intricate moulded rim.
It most likely had a centre-piece is in the form of a Pelican.
This bowl is normally found in Cloud Glass without the centre piece, as ours.
It is a vintage piece, therefore it might show slight traces of use such as a tiny flaw on one foot, but overall it can be considered as in excellent original condition and ready to become a piece in a home.
