Topic: Glass and decanter set

[byronkeith]

Please help with identification of this set. I believe it may be Venetian, either late 19th or early 20th century. The set comprises of 3 decanters, red wine glasses, white wine glasses, sherry glasses, liquer glasses etc. The glassware is very thin and has gilt engravings. The gilt engravings feauture a lions head and and leaves in a pattern. The stems have gold rim. The decanters have a handle on the side in the style.
Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi can anyone please help with the identification of this emblem. I am not sure if my glass and decanter set is of Venetian, French, Bohemian or English design. I am very new to glass research and would appreciate any help regarding this matter.

Looks to me like some of the quality glass that was coming out of Bohemia in the late 19th century.  Lobmeyr?

[byronkeith]

Thanks for the info on Lobmeyr. Certainly looks like the shape.Any books you can recommend for further study?
