It seems to me that this lovely pair of glasses are acid etched AND engraved...could someone confirm?  What date do you think they are in that case please?

Thanks!  :)x

No idea about date, but I'd agree with you Max, both etched and engraved. :thup:

(I'm having a problem here, after the conversation about champagne "coupes" and their "origin". I have a vision of you wearing these, "madonna"-style, Max, and it's stuck in my head now. You're aiming them at folk and saying "exterminate..."). Think I'd better pack it in for the day!  :pb:
Cheers, Sue M. (she/her)

Earth without art is just eh.
