I'm guessing these are the base and knop of what should have been two goblets.  I hope I got this id right  :sun:
Pictured on Charles Hajdamach's 20th century British Glass page 178 a different version.
There is no evidence the goblet bowls were ever attached but I presume they got broken and someone ground and polished the top.  The sphere is 2 1/2" diameter.  The huntsman is riding side saddle.
The horseman's arm is broken, but the hounds are perfect.  The detail and colours are fantastic.

When the mods have time would it be possible to move this to British and Irish Glass please?  I'm pretty sure this is as I have id'd but confirmation would be good  :sun:
Many thanks

Frank:
Without provenance it is virtually impossible to make that attribution, if you could compare side by side with a provenanced Swingewood you could use a qualified 'possibly' but these could have just as easily been made by one of the majority of undocumented lampworkers.

Anne:
Without evidence it will need to stay here M or we risk leading someone else astray.
