Thank you for sharing that! Interesting! One would think that they might have an interest in sharing their history (accurately) as public relations and advertising, if nothing more.

The Sarreguemines Museum (not the factory itself) has in the past published multiple flyers and brochures for which you had to pay. So far I can see they are not part of the online presence anymore, but somebody I know purchased a few of them; half of the material contradicted what was said in the other half (I was asked to cross-check and came to the same conclusion).

As far as I can remember the PV connection was either ignored, or claimed to have been based on some friendly agreement due to PVs concentration on glass. As it’s been a few years I can not remember who initiated this “partnership” of sorts.

Thank you. If I understand your reply correctly, you suggest that Sarreguemines has published contradictory information? May I ask where this can be found in order to read it? My basic interest though is in how these two locales relate to Sarreguemines historically.

Some people have a very low opinion on the Sarreguemines museum as they paid for various publications which all contradict themselves, both mark-table and history-wise. The claim that items marked “PV” are (based on) designs originally created by what is commonly known as Portieux-Vallérysthal has been confirmed by the Sarreguemines Museum three times and denied twice.

And if they do not know for sure … *shrug*
