Topic: Stevens & Williams double cased hock glass ...

I'm sure I've seen that cut, exactly, on large deep side-plate things, in several donations to Oxfam. Also around antiquey centres, where they sit and collect dust. They're not uncommon, Bernard.

Sue — I thought I had, until I looked at the profile of the cut star.   Most, if not all of the profiles I've seen have been swagged, like telephone wires, or just plain circular.   The difference is quite small.

That is a really stunning glass Thomas, all the lovlier with the light shining through it....is the flower a Fritillaria or a Campanula,  or just a fantasy flower?
How do they achieve the two colours without cutting through to the clear glass, and is there a special name for the technique?

thx rosieposie - i think it could be both - tend more to campanula - i found out that the first layer is yellow then blue - which gives actually greenish in some parts of the glass ..i only know that it is called double cased - must be really difficult not to go to deep ... but don´t know how it is done .. :or:..actually it was really a bargain at an german auction and i am quite sure i won´t get a similar glass for a reasonable price in the future.. :cry:
