[lwerk]

The vase is 13,5 cm high,inside Opaline white,then brown combed and than a layer clear glass!Very heavy,sounds like crystal!
The glass is marbled white Opaline with a Vaseline look(like Sabino)and is facet cut,crystal!

Thank you Lisa

Your goblet is opalescent glass, (not vaseline - which contains uranium) the metal used to produce these (opalescent) colours is arsenic. I would hazard a suggestion of Inwald as maker - the pattern is Jacobean.
(More than one maker made this design) However, there are folk here who know far more about this than me.
Designer was Shrotter, I believe.

(Have a search for Jacobean here - you'll find out more). I think opalescent pieces in this design are reasonably scarce, although there is a lot of Jacobean around.

I haven't a clue what your vase is... but would you be good enough to start a different thread for that and put your images in it plaese?
It gets far too confusing here when there is more than one piece in a thread.
One of our lovely mods can then take the vase images out of this thread.

Lord and Jacobean are the same designs, 

Is it the case that it's Lord when made by Inwald, and Jacobean when made by Davidson?

I have an interesting anecdote regarding this pattern!

I found an old (circa '46, I think) hardback copy of one of Gerard Durrell's books, very nicely illustrated with line drawings.
The book was about some of his travels in Africa in, what were at the time, somewhat remote places.
There was an illustration of him sitting outside at a rough table with a local chief, sharing a drink.

The shot glasses sitting on the table were Lord/Jacobean.

Nice story!  Sue, I really didn´t mean to correct or offend you, but merely offering the above link!  :kissy:
BTW I think Inwald also used the name `Milord´ - just to have a third name and to confuse things a bit more...

No offence in the slightest, Dirk - I was hoping somebody would sort out the more confusing details about it, thank you so much for "sorting " me.  :thup:

Is opalescent glass ever crystal?
I know the crystal "high end" ranges have cut and polished bases - are the sides cut too?
my brain is all mush....

 as Dirk said, also MILORD

Markhbeinn, Paris were importers of mainly Inwald glass and changed the pattern name from Lord into Milord   :fr:
