Hi Thomas

A very difficult challange.

I can't find anything English that is similar, the decoration looks continental to me but I'm really not sure.

What do you think?

Regards

hi Hazel !

i don`t like the amber applications - the stand reminds me of an german " roemer " wine glass and amber is a little strange and the engraving is like a " Watteau Scene " - french , german - probably the region of Alsace .. - really hard !
anyway i will try to get it for less than 70 - 80 pounds .. its nice craftmanship :-)

we have so much rain here - " cats and dogs " as you would say :-)

Spot on, very like the scenes on Dresden porcelain.

Lots of sunshine today - lovely  :sun:

Beautiful engraving but nothing looks British , especially the foot .

I love the engraving, but agree with you about the amber, and also agree with everyone's comments about the lack of 'Englishness' about it!      

Please let us know if you get it for your target price!
