Hi Antwerp1954 - love those Zoude pieces, but that link you posted has expired, d'you have any pics you could put up here ?
There's a couple of other items on that same website, but they're both already sold :(

sent them a message, and they were very helpful and informative, but didn't have any other examples available at the moment...
as for the hollow knopp, never seen the like - but was Belgian glass subject to the same sort of taxation as was the case in the UK - maybe it was a feature to reduce the weight and therefore the cost of the piece if it was intended for sale over here ?

Hi Gabriel
In the 1750s and the following decades Belgium as a country had yet to exist and was under the control of the Austrians. See http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Namur,_Belgium.
I now believe the hole into the knop is most likely to be a fault in manufacture or a puncture later on.
I'm attaching photos of my collection of Zoude glasses. They all have features in common. The way the bowl is attached to the stem, the stem/interface and their pronouced conical folded feet. However I think they are unique amongst my collection in fluourescing yellow and blue under the appropriate UV light.
It may take more than one message to post all the photos.
