Cut & engraved goblet - French?
« on: September 05, 2010, 05:29:32 PM »
I bought this cut & engraved goblet yesterday, described as "Possibly French, 20th century".  It's quite sharply cut, with 'notches' all down the knop and stem, and a star-cut foot.  It stands 9.75 inches (24.5cm) tall and is 4 inches (10cm) across the top.   Does anyone recognise the pattern?   Thank you.

oh, crikey, I don't half struggle with cut stuff!
(to my non-flowery eyes, everything flowery just looks the same...... fancy-flowery :spls: )
I was having a peek at claretjugcollector's champagne glasses, because I thought they looked a bit like this, but having checked, they're not.
However, there's been talk of Tudor, for which I have always harboured a small affection, because I have a set of (post-war) wine glasses which belonged to my Grandpa. There is cross-hatching on the centres of the flowers in your piece and in my glasses - but the flowers on my glasses are thistles - there's a strong liklihood that this is just the way thistles are depicted, rather than it being any sort of "feature" typical of any maker.

Your glass is pretty tall - is it a wine glass? or something completely different?

Sue - hope you won't mind if I enlarge a little on your reference to 'Tudor' - as it is possible that there may be people other than me who do not understand fully your comment :).       'Tudor' (in a fairly heavy Gothic script) was registered as a trade name in 1927 by The Stourbridge Glass Company Ltd., (User Claimed from 20th May 1924).   This mark was revised for use during the 1930's, apparently, to  'MADE IN/TUDOR/ENGLAND' (acid marked in three lines), and with the word Tudor a little less Gothic - as per the attached pic.    I don't have anything marked simply 'TUDOR' unfortunately.
Reference:  British Glass between the wars - Editor Roger Dodsworth - 1987.

I have a wine glass by Jack Lloyd of Tudor which has the pre-war company marking. Bowl was signed by J.Lloyd.
Never walk away from a bargain

Very nice!  :D  Definitely no marks or sig on mine, I'm afraid  :-\   I have bought and am collecting at the weekend a Tudor bowl engraved (and signed!) by Jack Lloyd.  The goblet is very nice, but I don't think it's quite the same quality.  I have no idea why the seller identified it as "Possibly French"!  Does anyone else know what might lead them to that conclusion?  Or could anyone suggest a possible French maker?   

Thanks to everyone for comments (even Sue, who doesn't like 'fancy-flowery' :kissy: )  :)

to me it looks french - 1, because of the star cut burst

                                 2, because of the rips on the stem ...  :-[
