Identify lead crystal cocktail/sherry/wine glass
« on: January 10, 2015, 11:53:18 PM »
This set of 4 lead crystal glasses was in my grandmother's collection of antiques.  There are no maker's mark on any of the glasses.  I have been researching for several days and cannot find these glasses - I cannot even find glasses that have this particular shape. ???
I would greatly appreciate someone's help in identifying the maker and the pattern.

I forgot to add that the glass holds 5.5 fluid ounces

I saw a very similar bowl shape in a Danish glass book referring to Holmegaard, but in the caption for the image which was written in Danish it seemed to be referring to val st lambert glass.
You could try these two firms to start with.

I suspect you're thinking of the Lalaing series, which was initially imported from VSL by Holmegaard, and later made under license by the glassworks.

The bowls bear some similarity to Lalaing, but the stems are quite different.

If I recall correctly, Val St. Lambert did do a series called 'Mery' that could bear greater resemblance to your set, although the bowls might be a slightly different shape.
