The first results were called Graniver and the process was used to manufacture opaque pots and bowls.\u003cbr\u003eIn total the factory produced seven graniver products in a range of sizes and colours sometimes with stands or liners. The process was cheap and innovative but also brought some inherent problems. The bowls and dishes made in this technique are very vulnerable to chips and hairline cracks. The colour of the glass grains is often not thoroughly mixed, which leads to a marbled effect or other patches of darker colour.\u003cbr\u003eThis small group of objects has become a fiercely competitive area of collecting. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAndries Dirk (A.D.)
