Blue white swirl double cotton twist Italian English glass?
« on: February 15, 2014, 08:30:01 PM »
This has been in my collection for a bit with mainly Italian glass but it rings like lead crystal, i have no idea how old it is or where it has come any help welcome. Its 3 3/4 inches in height 3 3/4 inches across the rim and 2 1/2 inches across the base, it has a snapped pontil to the base and some wear.

That's what i thought but i have lots of this type of glass none ring at all like English crystal, got about 50 bits of latticino/salviati glass, none sound like this.
