Topic: rose engraved glass edwardian?

[bat20]

Hi all,this glass is about 8cm ht with engraved roses and rose buds in a a style i hope someone might recognise,if i had to guess i'd say continental late 30's,there's no pontil mark but alot of wear along the outer edge it sits on and has a nice ring.

sorry, can't help with attribution - vaguely like a brandy balloon perhaps, and my thoughts would be more recent than you suggest.
In the absence of a backstamp or particular cut pattern, then I'd think that only rarely can safe attributions be made by particular styles of engraving  -  some of the distinctive modernist designs possibly  -  but generally too unreliable.

I'd also suggest that the engraving would be seen more clearly without the fussy background  -  if you have a large sheet of dark grey or black paper you'd get less distraction.            Another go perhaps?

Ok thanks Paul ,may well be more recent,it was just the centre of the rose has something about it i recognise from some era.

 Hi ,
           This design of a stylized rose was used on Jacobite glasses in the 18th c ,however yours of course is much much later .

cheers ,
