Aqualux
This slumped glass range was introduced by Chance Brothers in 1939, but it was discontinued at the outbreak of WWII the same year. All Aqualux is very rare due to its limited production run, but it eventually set the standard for all companies that produced this type of glassware from 1951 onwards.
