Sorry, I should of course have put the size of the bowl - yes, it's definitely a bowl! It's 6 inches (15cm) high and 8 inches (20cm) across the top!
Re how to describe cut / etched / engraved glass : I wish I knew the correct terms, because I do struggle with this - lots of my pieces are a bit of each! For example, I would tend to describe the bowl (above) as 'cut glass' because it's mainly cut with a little intaglio decoration round the top and bottom, and I named the picture of the flute as 'cut stem' because, as well as the engraved flowers on the bowl and the foot ..... it has a cut stem!
I'd love to find out more about the claret jug. I think it's rather nice. It needs a bit of sorting out (aka 'Basiling') as it has some scratches round the inside where someone has cleaned it over-enthusiastically. I don't know the maker, but I know it's good because Ray Annenberg wanted it, but his missus said he'd bought enough glass, so I bought it instead! :thup:
