Topic: Blue cut glass/crystal goblet with lozenge

Measures 13.5 cm tall, unsure if the lozenge would have originally had something else in it or not. The base pontil area is inverted and perfectly smooth.

A Wedgwood commemorative souvenir (1972-1982), difficult to know what it was commemorating as it has lost it's Jasperware cameo.

If you have a copy of 20th Century Glass by Andy McConnell it's on page 232.

appears to be a Wedgwood Cameo Goblet  - issued, apparently, mainly to commemorate special occasions, i.e. royal events, when there would have been a suitable cameo inset in the seal - the cameo itself having a blackish background.    Made in three colours  - smokey blue, topaz and amethyst.   Not used very often for general giftware, apparently, so yours may be less common in fact than those carrying the actual cameo - but that is conjecture only   Certainly produced throughout most of the 1970's, and should be 12.75 cms. tall.

Thanks all, There is no residue where there may have been a cameo but will assume there was at some point. I will look up the wedgewood references. Thanks

I don't know that you should assume there would have been a cameo  -  I get the impression that a small quantity were sold without one, in the line of "general giftware", although this was quite uncommon.

here's one that presumably belonged to someone who had a nostalgia for their Spanish hols. (at least I assume it is a Spanish coin)  -  and seems to have been attached professionally.
