I have this pair of salvers that are Vallérysthal Portieux. From what I’ve been able to find V-P called the blue color ‘Iris’ and the white “Opale”. These were in the Vallérysthal 1913 catalog on page 5, service ROM. Also found the same pattern made by Brockwitz in crystal. So they may not exactly fit into my EAPG theme but they do make for pretty cake stands.

Certainly European, quite possibly VP. Take a look at the Foreign glass site:

The attributions are not perfect (what reference is?) but I don't know of any other site on the 'Net that shows this much foreign-made glass.
Your cake stands are just lovely.
thanks Bellin and Paul!
I've been able to confirm these were in the Vallérysthal 1913 catalog on page 5, service ROM. Also found the same pattern made by Brockwitz in crystal. So if anyone happens to see others around they can be attributed to Vallérysthal-Portieux.
