Help in identifying glass dish

(1/3) > >>

Binggirl:
I stumbled across this message board in my search to identify a piece of glass I bought in a second hand shop and really hope someone can help me. It's a shallow cut glass dish - one in high and six inches wide. It has a star pattern cut into the centre with lines travelling out to the edges approx half an inch apart, each one with a tiny (around half inch) 'leaf' on the end. The glass has swirling 'wobbles' in it that can be seen if you hold it up to the light. The only thing I've seen like it is in a book about Greta Runeborg-Tell from the Ekenas glassworks in Sweden but there were no leaf pattern.

Any help very gratefully recieved.

:D Hello Binggirl, Are you absolutely sure there are no markings on the base? Get it in the light and look very carefully around the edges and the centre for an etched mark. Something is ringing a bell in the recesses of my head that it might be Edinburgh Crystal, or Stuart. I'm sure I've seen this pattern before. :D

binggirl:
I've had another really careful look Sue and there's nothing, frustratingly. Are there any Stuart or Edinburgh websites I can search? Thanks for this info by the way.

There's Replacements.com which has images of lots of designs organised by manufacturer name, but the drawback is they most often use stemware as the example which makes id'ing a bowl more time-consuming, but it's worth a try if you have some spare time. http://www.replacements.com and follow the Crystal link and then select the alphabet letter for the maker you want to check. Tip: Once you've found the manufacturer use the blue bar on the left side to see lots of patterns per page rather than having to open each one individually. (Replacements also offer an ID service which is useful if you can't find it anywhere else.)

Hope this helps. :)

:D :roll: You might try Webb as well. I'm positive I've seen this long and short stemmed leaf topped cut before, and I'm sure it was one of these. Nigel Benson would probably know! I do have the booklet that went with his exhibition on art cut glass, I'll have a hunt for it and get back.
