  As I expected. They're probably late 19th C/early 20th C. They might be English or they might be Bohemian. I'm doubtful that they are Thomas Webb; the quality doesn't quite look good enough. And that is probably as good as the info gets.

Thank you Christine . They do seem to have been made in haste .But still there my second pair on uranium glass  :or:

They won't have been made in haste necessarily, but workers were paid on piece rates and quality standards (i.e., what was deemed suitable or unsuitable for sale) weren't as high as they were now. In addition, items that were as much decorative as functional were a new thing for the working classes. They wanted things that they could afford and top quality takes time and costs money. It's like today, you don't go to Poundstretcher and expect Harrods quality. You want something pretty that you can afford.
