On this page we include examples of the paper labels associated with the named Belgian factories known to produce decorative and art-glass. This list is incomplete and most of the dates have been approximated using the available documentation , and by linking the labels to the dates of production for the items on which they have been found. Items which are press-marked 'Belge' or just say Fait en Belgique, or Made in Belgium are discussed on our Belge Marks page. (Examples of the labels from Dutch factories are shown on our Leerdam labels and Maastricht labels pages.) If you can add to this page or improve these images then please let us know via email. De Rupel, Boom (RB) At de Rupel in Boom, a wide variety of labels were used over the years, including factory labels, export labels and labels for specific product-ranges. Some of these illustrations are reprinted (by kind permission) from the book 'Booms Glas' which can be ordered online from the EMABB website
