WMF Myra glass is quite beautiful and extremely fragile, flaking and chipping and scratching very easily. Vessels are very thin-walled.
The shapes are quite simple, from tiny 2.5" vases to large 13" vases. It is very difficult to find pieces in perfect condition.
When Myra appears on eBay, it is usually sold as Durand (there is one right now), Steuben, Loetz or even Tiffany. It is always unmarked but sometimes one can be found with a paper label: 1. PAPER LABEL
Myra pieces usually are labeled red (Rot) or blue (Blau), depending on the metallic oxide applied. All the code numbers refer to period catalogs reproduced in WMF Ikora and Myra Glass.
I bought one of these goblets from a Palm Beach dealer notorious for his outrageous misidentifications. This time, it was "guaranteed Steuben!"

In the picture above, notice that the "Blau" actually has a green tint to it, and that the "Rot" is more gold than red.
A nice size comparison: 5. J306 BLAU AND J232 ROT

8. J91 ROT
