Topic: Burtles Tate Swan Or Not?

[Sid]

Hello

Actually I am not joking. People here are trying to be helpful  but are getting nothing but vinegar back from you.

Perhaps your discussion should have started with the fact that you were an expert on swans, having several hundred in your collection, that these two examples were clearly not something that you had previously encountered and therefore you were wondering if they were Burtles, Tates examples without the registry mark.  It would have saved the time that I and other folks here have put into searching for an answer to your question.

I'm out of here.  I thought I would be engaging in an intelligent discussion with intelligent people in an English glass site about a piece of possibly English glass.  Instead I just get stupid answers.  Like maybe it is Fenton.   Not even close to resembling Fenton.  HMMM!  Maybe it might be a can of soup or a horseshoe.

Ban me if you wish.  I won't be back.

Goodbye.

All we ask is for members to be polite to and tolerant of each other. Members have tried to help and been rewarded with rudeness. If you are so expert I'm sure you can manage quite well without our experts. Thank you for dropping by, HAND.

I don not know who made them, but I find the quality of the base grinding rather worrying. I would expect something smoother looking; the photo shows something rather like a sandpaper job.
