    There has been Snowflake Glass here on CW before but I am posting these bits quickly in response to AnneLander's post.

    I don't know which factory in China made Snowflake, but they made lots of it, and to a high standard.

    Typically their glass is on a pastel ground; green, yellow, blue, pink, white, cream. To this is added a swirl of coloured glass, generally in darker colours of blue, brown, yellow and red. The item has then been cased in clear and clear feet and handles added.

    I have 6 glasses that would have had a matching jug at some stage.
    The jugs in their water sets varied in shape and some are just fantastic!
    Vases varied in size but generally had a fluted top. They sometimes had a foot or handles added.

    1970s, and I guess earlier and better than some may think of Chinese glass!
