Topic: Engraved or cut? antique? clear footed bowl with underplate

[johnphilip]

The blossom on your piece looks just like the blossom  on the decanter i had although it had other desings also and SOTHEBYS head of glass at the time said it was John Orchard for sure because of the blossom , you could ask Thomas Mr claret jug collector for his opinion  , he is very well versed on that type of decoration .

hello m  -  I have a tazza type thingy with identical underfoot decoration, on which I have written 'Stourbridge Glass Company c. 1920' - because that was what the seller told me  -  apparently they marketed their production under the name of Tudor Crystal (see 'Art Deco To Post Modernism' - Nigel and Jeanette Hayhurst).    I've not really had the time to investigate further, so cannot provide specific corroboration of this pattern from books etc.     Decoration on the bowl is a tad less like yours, but has much similarity.           I have another intaglio cut bowl with decoration very similar to yours  -  that sort of stylized daisy and the crescent shaped curving leaves look, which is backstamped 'MADE IN ENGLAND', and on which I have written 'Webb Corbett - c.1930's, which again was the description given to me by the seller.     
Not really sure that this is of much help, and hope you don't mind my pix being added to your post

Hi Paul
the underfoot engraving looks remarkably similar however I would say the engraving in the bowl is a completely different design  the flowers aren't the same at all.

o.k. I take your point about the flowers m  -  so how about this, which I beleive to be Webb Corbett, certainly the flowers are similar, but there is no catherine wheel sort of underfoot design.

what shape is the piece Paul?  and how do you know it is Webb Corbett please?
thanks

I believe it's finger bowl c. 1930's - 4.1/2" in diameter and 2.1/2" in height.      Very good quality, thin glass and has a 'ding' to die for - has a high quality ground/polished pontil depression in the centre of the base, in which (in upper case) is a backstamp reading MADE IN ENGLAND, and the cutting runs into the pontil area.     This bowl has a slightly outward curving/flared rim.      The woman from whom I purchased this, has some considerable knowledge re glass (at least I think so) and told me it was Webb Corbett.     Unfortunately, regret that I cannot prove this to you though.

Well its marked England & thats that, but seriously its a dead ringer for several Pairpoint patterns (they had around 40 cuttings) here in the U.S.
