Topic: Hand Engraved Glass dated 1841

Hi again,

some more pics as requested.
Thanks
Rosie

And some more ....!!

Rosie — The part of the inscription I can see on the last picture above looks as if it is:

1841 IAPC del.

The "del." is an abbreviation for the Latin for "delineated by", and so this translates to:

1841 engraved by IAPC

What is on the remainder of this line?

Bernard C.

Hi Bernard,

I am not very good at making out the last word (name) so here's some close ups... All I can decipher for sure is a capital S.

Thanks
Rosie

Quite a love token that would be, when the point beyond "Friends" is denoted with a skull and crossbones!  Perhaps it's a token of consolation from friend to friend?

I wonder if it's significant that "Champagne" is spelled the old French way, "Champaign."  Maybe not, since Madeira is spelled "Maderia."

At any rate, it's a nice piece of history!

I read the final line as

1841 IAPC del. et scr. - IAPC del[ineat] et scr[ipsit] - IAPC drew and wrote [this] 1841

Thank you so much for your help and to everyone else who have taken an interest.  :hiclp:
