Topic: Anyone for a large brandy?

[Margi]

Could anyone kindly tell me who this could be made by please.  I have taken before and after pics as it was in such a state and I have never seen such filth before.  The exterior is far smoother than the interior but not flat by any means.  Elongated bubble pattern.  Wavy rim  Relatively thick applied stem which looks like diamonds but not.  Smooth base but the central point has a bulb.

And here is the stem upside down.

I have managed to find a few now but they all have twisted stems or flat rims.  Here is a link to another on ebay could anyone clarify the maker that they are advertising theirs as please. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RETRO-RED-BRANDY-GLASS-STYLE-VASE---DIMPLED-TEXTURE_W0QQitemZ110280430860QQcmdZViewItem?rvr_id=&rvr_id=&cguid=aca6a8bc1220a0aad4852365fffc9357

If I may I thought I would just add that I know my glass is not the same as this.

A typical example of a glass I would not allow into the house, for a number of reasons.
One, I lived through the fifties/sixties, where every household had an oversised brandy glass filled with books of matches from all the glorious eateries the owner ever visited.
Two, they cannot be attributed. They were so popular that every glass producer had them in the catalogue, and there must be a thousand slightly different ones out there.
Three, in the definition of Kitsch this glass rates very high. One of the definitions includes outsize (and miniature) as forms of kitsch.
Four it has a large footprint and just fills too much space.

Having said that I would think yours is Bohemian or German, based on the stem alone.

Many of them came with a ceramic cat hanging over the rim .

hi i have one without the foot, but its a different colour but has the same rim and base with the raised lumps in a swirling pattern i guess we may never get to the bottom of them. Sorry poor pics!!

There are some on ebay at the moment with the cat and mouse and people are bidding

I'd love one with the cat and mouse! ;-) Mum had a very fashionable, beautiful Maori friend who had one. Not only did she have the siamese cat, but she used the hide the mouse amongst rubber grapes. It was all so tacky it was wonderful.

The cat AND the mouse are not overly common in good condition and together. I think they are Beswick
