Topic: Tall golden amber Hock type glass

[WhatHo!]

What Ho! these glasses are in no way iridescent.

[bfg]

no that's ok, I wasn't suggesting they were iridescent or had a lattice pattern, I was suggesting the overall shape looked more within the proportions of the J Walsh Walsh tulip glasses than the T Webb ones. Perhaps I didn't make myself clear enough.

[WhatHo!]

I was standing at the Cambridge glass fair yesterday and I spotted 2 of these glasses on a stall and they had a Walsh label but also a chap came up to me and said 'those glasses you have on GMB are defo Webb'!!

people will say anything for money Wolfie ................you should have got his name - presumably a member?

[WhatHo!]

Hi, when I say Walsh label I meant a hand written price label with Walsh on it not a factory label.

[WhatHo!]

Hi, thanks again for all your help. I have a few of Kenilworth pattern Walsh glasses (signed) and these have a very similar constructed stem and foot.

[Paul S.]

hmmmm..............insofar as part of the 'Kenilworth' stem is round, I'd agree..........but then lots of stems are round in part     What about the large merese/knop/collar thing under the bowl, both in Kenilworth', and in 'Fruiting Vine'  -  the stems of which are almost identical (with each other), but not with your glass I don't think.
Although your glass may well be Walsh, I don't think comparing the stems with the above cut patterns is sound enough reason.

However, your stem does look much more like the examples in the Walsh brochure in Charles Hajdamach that Mel drew attention to  -  so on that basis you're more likely to be correct with Walsh.  

[WhatHo!]

Perhaps I didn't make myself very clear, I was only referring manufacturing techniques of the foot and way stem is attached to it, everything above the stem forget. I was particularly talking about the way the foot sloped up on underside and the centre bulged down slightly. The feet on these 2 very different glasses are extremely similar.
Unfortunately I dont have that CH book you are referring to so I can't see what you mean 

[Paul S.]

I have a couple of of pieces of 'Kenilworth' Wolfie - and it was one of these I was looking at, but not at the bowl.          However, if you are interested in Walsh then Reynolds book is useful, obviously, and surprised you don't already have Charles Hajdamach's volume  -  so is that two books you need??

[WhatHo!]

I do indeed have the Walsh book, although those catalogue pages in the back are impossibly small to see. I also have CH British Glass, 1800-1914 !!!!
