Thanks!!  It *is* pretty.  It's only a matter of time, I guess...at least a few IDs have been eliminated.

Hi Paul,

'Pre-1852' is the name of the file my late mother-in-law had this item filed under.  I'm not sure if it Waterford made pressed glass or not.   Thanks for your interest.

Paul S.:
I get the impression that Waterford made cut glass products only  -  their glass is described usually as Waterford Crystal  -  lot of history on Wiki that goes back over 200 years, and worth reading.
If this piece had a British Board of Trade Rd. No. - in the form of a diamond lozenge  -  then we might be successful in locating details etc., BUT of course it doesn't.
Your mother-in-law obviously liked filing under quite particular dates - at least she seemed to have this one dated fairly accurately. :)

Hi Paul,  I wish my MIL had left more detailed notes.  There is so much more info available now than when she did her collecting 1950s-1980s.   She would have loved the internet (or what a glass search would dig up). 

The edges have such nice definition that at first I thought the glass was cut.  A losenge would have indeed been helpful. 

Thanks for all your help and encouragement, everyone.  I will post any leads I get or when the mystery is solved.
