Clear Glass Cup - Hunting design
« on: February 14, 2010, 12:02:57 AM »
A Clear Glass cup with a design of a hunter and dog.  The cup measures 10.5cm in height.  The top measures 6.8cm in dia. and the base 5.6cm. The centre of the base looks like a polished but uneven pontil with round rings that look like a rippling effect.  It may not be clear in the pictures, but this is the best I can describe it.  Can anyone identify this glass.  I would very much like to know the originator and age.   Kind Regards

Automatically factory blown and relatively modern. The ripples are an artefact of either the blow moulding or the cooling.

Thanks to you all for that info.  I have 6 of them all in perfect condition and don't really want them but was so inquisitive as to the maker and age They are very light in weight for there size.
