Topic: Bimini style stem, any thoughts on maker? ID = Swingewood for Stevens & Williams

[Catisfaction]

I found this locally near Seattle, I have absolutely no clue about who might have made it. Turning to the board for thoughts and suggestions.

I can't even think of any good words to google with other than Bimini style.

The furthest I've got is to realise that these dogs look like hunting hounds.

Ooh, I have the books mentioned, didn't even think to have a look in there!

Thanks, will see what I can find.

Well, after reading through that thread and checking out the referenced book and then not finding a single historical sale to compare a price to, the verdict is that this one gets added to my British Glass collection yay!

Thanks for the help

HI Peter
can you tell us anymore about this glass or Vernay?  I found that when searching for my 'adjusted' pieces but couldnt' find any information on Vernay at all.
I wondered if it had been specially inscribed for Vernay (whatever or whoever they were).

HI ,
        Sorry, nothing to add , I came across the ebay listing after seeing the OP,and thought it may be of some help , maybe others will know more about Vernay,they may have been a US retailer ,???

Cheers

Vernay almost sounds like the name of a liquor.
