Topic: Maker of moulded rummers ?

[redheat4]

Hi, can anyone id the maker of these lovely rummers / goblets. I do have a couple of reference books on moulded glass but can't seem to find them, they do have considerable age wear to both the rims and bases I am thinking late 19th early or 20th century.  :huh:

These neogothic designs have been in use since the 1840s, so since the very first pressed glass. The old ones have tons of imperfections - such as pontil marks (they used pontils to get the item out of the mould), striae (a.k.a. staw marks) where hot glass touched a cool mould, bubbles and seeds - and often the stand was uneven and had to be ground down. In these goblets the treatment of the foot is different, so they will be of later date. Not sure exactly how recent they are without handling them. STIVER in Italy has been making this type of glass since the 1960s, and a lot of it now comes out of Indonesia. If you have 4 then this points at mass production. It is hard to believe 4 of these survived the 19th and 20th century...

You are seeing double Ivo definitely only two. These are older glasses I have been handling, buying, selling and restoring glass for almost twenty years you sort of get a feel for it. They have got the usual inclusions, tool marks etc. Very heavy over 640g each, 5 part mould, top rim fire polished therefore in the absence of a pontil held by a gadget. Just wondered who made them as the design would have been registered  :thup:
