Mystery honeycomb cut green lidded pots
« on: April 10, 2009, 08:02:44 PM »
Hi All

I've had these little pots for a long time but I've never managed to find anything else quite like them in my books or on the internet (9cm tall). Any clues would by gratefully received. :thup:

Chinese "Peking" glass perhaps?

Hi Glasshound

Thanks for the idea, I hadn't considered Peking Glass - a bit off my radar.

On searching I found the following which is similar in cutting style.
