Nice one, but not cuts, mitres, as it's a pressed design

[Paul S.]

nice piece Mike  -  I collect celeries - and don't have this one

hate to be Mr. Picky, but for the sake of folk who may take your description at face value, and think the design is cut, literally   -  would suggest the words 'pressed - imitation cut' are added (Thompson say  'Imit. cut').

My opinion of the wording in the link is also that this perhaps lacks some clarity  -  since it seems that this factory did actually produce cut wares - and I can only see the word 'mitres', and don't see the word pressed mentioned in conjunction with this design.

good find though - don't think I've seen this Rd. No.

Edited to add............  apologies to Christine  -  this has crossed with hers  -  the Mods. can delete mine if they wish.

Thanks very much Christine & Paul,

Firstly, I should have posted this under British glass and apologize for that.

Sorry for my error in the description, I didn't realize the significance of the word mitre in relation to pressed glass. It is of course 100% pressed glass with no cuts. 

Paul you are very welcome to it as an addition to your collection of celeries , I can send it to you free of any charge. It has three small chips to the mitres but the rim and base are intact .

The mods can give you my email address If you want to get in touch.

Thanks both for your interest and useful comments. Cheers, Mike.

Is it possible to change the title....to avoid confusion  ? I tried to edit it, but it didn't work 

Cheers, Mike

[Paul S.]

that's very kind of you Mike - in return I'll make a contribution to my local charity shop.            Perhaps Anne (Mod.) might send me your details as and when she has time.

Edited.......   thinks - having just put brain in gear........send me an email via my little envelope and include your details.

You are very welcome Paul,

I hadn't thought of that one either , I will send details later ...must dash...cheers, Mike
