ID help for neo-classical glass :D
« on: October 16, 2011, 08:19:15 AM »
I've managed to procure a pair of beautiful glass from Florence, Italy, which I think is neo-classically styled. There are no markings anywhere on the glasses.

I've not been able to find any information on it - not even from the guys at Replacements.com, so I am hoping someone could shed some light on it - as i'm in love with them.

The foot of the glass looks like that of Lalique's Argos collection (as seen from http://www.crystalclassics.com/lalique/stems/argosflutes.htm)

While the leaf indents on the body of the flute is reminiscent of Baccarat's Harcourt collection (as seen from http://www.voltex.me.uk/harcourt-glass-baccarat-pid2182.htm)

I haven't been able to find an online image that combines the two main characteristics.

Attached are pictures of the glass.

thanks for the information!

unfortunately, it doesn't seem like Bayel made those...but upon searching in the boards for 'square foot' it did bring up a wealth of information - especially these pages:

http://www.great-glass.co.uk/library/libindex.htm
http://www.glas-musterbuch.de/

i'm still poring through them; hopefully i'll be able to find more information on their maker!

if anyone has more information, please add on. Thank you so much, I appreciate it very much.
