Hi Ken  -  appreciate the clarification - thanks

Thanks for the info, Didn't realize that Crystal Traditions had bought the Hawkes name. I know a guy that works at Crystal traditions. They now have just one engraver that they hired from England. and do very limited work.
The 3 pieces I have may have been blanks that were made in 2 different factories as Hawkes was buying blanks wherever they could get them. That would explain the variations.
The engraving is superb.

although not quite as good as owning a piece of Hawkes cut or engraved glass, the next best thing can be had by looking through Jane Spillman's book 'THE AMERICAN CUT GLASS INDUSTRY - T. G. Hawkes and his Competitors'.                 Not particularly cheap as it's one of the Antique Collectors' Club books, but if you're into American cut/engraved glass from the ABP period, it's a real must - glass to die for.
