BASSAU GLASS BELGIUM
« on: January 27, 2024, 09:08:12 AM »
Hi, I have just bought two claret jugs which are named as BASSAU.  They are art nouveau style gilded metal over mouth blown glass, apparently bought in Harrods. Does anyone know when this company was started and if they were related to the Val St. Lambert factory at any point. 
Thanks for your help in advance :)

Boussu operated 1960-1988 when it merged into Manuverbel. so at least you have cut-off dates.
