Topic: Acid etched face on crystal vase

[Prism]

Hi - I have this vase of very heavy clear crystal with a face with either a scottish or french hat.  The impressed mark on the base is very hard to read, but it has 1758 scratched there also.  I feel it is probably a one of a set of something.  The dimensions are approx 105 across top, 105 height.  It has nine panels with the face across two. Could anyone help with any information about it? Thanks.

From the picture the face looks like Monty, Lord Montgomery  ww2 same cheeks chin and hat even with the indent mid chin.

Thankyou I never thought of him.

Think it´s Richard Wagner. There was a whole range of musicians on glasses produced for Berlin design.
I´ve seen them attributed to Peill & Putzler, but can neither confirm nor deny. :-/

Thankyou, I will look into it.
In the meantime I have found another picture online of another face - same design. Just the photo - no information. Perhaps someone can link the two faces? Thanks for looking.

I believe its Baccarat as i have had two very like it , one with a sulphide that sold to a Baccarat collector in the USA
 and he thought it was also .

This is my John F. Kennedy vase which is faintly marked (scroll down) with crown and bear like yours and like printed on the box in Dirk's ebay link.

My opinion from feel and touch: 1970ies and probably Libbey, USA for the German market - just an idea

That ring of wear looks a tad strong for 70s , my eyes aint too good at the moment but the lower section and base does look a little like the two i had ,  damn cateracts and maculer degeneration  plus long waiting list . where i live .
