HI ,
No not on holiday ,just up to my ears in hundreds of glasses in preparation for tomorrows glass fair,17th and 18thc glasses all over the place being cleaned and labelled, . sorry but I cant really add much to what has been said already about these small glasses , they are probably one of the most common types you will come across dating from the early 19th and into the 20th c , later ones tending to be of thinner and brighter metal , most have what I would call a blade knop if quite thin and angular if thicker , merese's to me are very thin wafers of glass that separate knops , for example between a pair of hollow blown knops ,or between the bottom of a bowl just above a knop ,
anyway back to the pile of glasses.
Cheers
Peter.
