Old glass
« on: April 03, 2014, 08:34:05 AM »
Hi

I bought this glass quite recently.  It has a moulded honeycomb(?) bucket bowl and hollow inverted baluster stem on a folded foot. The metal shows no luminescence under UV and has a slight green/yellow tinge to it.  It contains lots of the usual air bubbles and inclusions. The foot is quite flat but is folded and there is a rough pontil mark.

Height 14.2cm, Bowl dia 5.7cm, Foot dia 6.8cm

The auction house suggested Possibly mid-18th century and French.  What do you think?
