This page contains photographs of Belgian glass items, intended to serve as examples for identification. As discussed elsewhere on this site there is very little documentation about the products of these factories, and it is clear that factories often made very similar, almost identical products. The conclusion must be that (with exception of models shown in the 'Booms glas' book) only the paper label is a really reliable indicator of manufacture. Below we include examples from the factories which we have found with labels, and some rxamples of selected labels. Some more examples can be found our pages about each factory. Please feel free to offer additional images for inclusion on this page (and tell us why you are CERTAIN of the manufacturer)!
