HI ,i need your help on this one i have been offered this big glass to buy it is beautifully cut a part from the engraving at the front  E.R coronation June 2 nd 1953  this is really poor quality  if it was not for the engraving i would buy it now but i think it devalues it .So is the piece older then the engraving or vice versa and is it Edinburgh crystal. Height 211,mm Width 143,mm  Thank you.

"So is the piece older then the engraving or vice versa" - forgive my sense of humour robert  -  it's the vice versa bit that I'm scratching my head over  -  are you suggesting that the engraving was there before the glass .      Apologies, regret I can't add anything sensible. :wsh:    The choice tho. must be yours  -  beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

If the price was right, I'd buy it and display it with the engraving towards the back!  I've actually one or two like that myself   :thup:

Hi all (up`s)    :wsh: I have to own up i can not believe i put that out there but i was in a Rush  :ooh: i must admit it was funny  .What i meant to say was the glass made for the coronation or not .And am i paying for the glass or a coronation piece. Thank you

Personally, I'd have thought the coronation factor should bring the price down - it's something that sort of limits it to being of interest pretty much only to collectors of royal stuff.

Hi all well thank`s for your in put but i think for £60 i will not bother. thanks again :or:

 :thud:
I certainly wouldn't at that price!

But that is just me, and I'm not in favour of royalty....

What not even james the first  or is that sixth  :sc:

Definitely the 6th, but I'm also fairly sure he was basically a French courtier.
Vive la Revolution!  :thup:
