    Found these in an odd place. I'm assuming made in Austria until told otherwise. The picture of the back got blurry on me, but those piecrust settings have me thinking Austria.

    Getting a strong D&E vibe, did you rule them out?

    Not entirely, but those piecrust settings made me wonder, and the back is a little neat for them.

    If I remember correctly, the D&E term for the pie crust setting is “dog tooth” - then there’s the long pin-stem…. And I do see puddling, albeit much lighter than usual.
    I haven’t encountered unmarked Austrian pieces that I recall, either. Gorgeous set in any case.

    First thought was D&E as well. I'm not an expert, just remember seeing a positively ID'd piece in the past with those dog tooth settings.

    Great set with that unusual art glass.

    I'll have to double check. The backs looked too clean. Maybe somebody screwed up and didn't blob on the solder?

    To my European eyes they look very American.:watching:
    Also, I would call the setting prong setting. Dog tooth sounds fine too.
    To me piecrust setting is a crimped bezel, which actually looks like a piecrust.;)

    They still look like what I was trained to call piecrust prongs. A one crust pie sounds...mighty good right now, as long as I don't have to turn the oven on! Goddess/ Mother Nature already did that part outdoors.
