Fern glasses
« on: July 01, 2011, 06:15:22 PM »
Hi there

Im hoping you can help me with some information on these glasses please?  I dont know anything about them.  I think they are mouth blown brandy glasses?  They have a fern pattern cut into them.  Theyre very pretty and delicate.  Any information would be great.

hi, I thought at first that these were Sasaki 'Wheat',  but I have just checked and there are enough differences for it not to be.  I think this is a grass pattern, rather than a fern.....might help with tracing the maker.

Best bet would be to find the glass factory via replacements.com or similar. The stem is reasonably distinctive.
