Hi Keith  -  I can't see the leaves clearly enough in your pix, but the give-a-way for Walsh 'Fruiting Vine is the clear centres to the leaves.

If you look at my first pictures in this link  ..    http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,45302.msg253002.html#msg253002
it should give you an idea of what I mean.              You can also see the same effect in Roy's finger bowls.

Without going through Reynolds book (those drawings again), I don't recall if they did your shape.             What would you say yours is - a rummer or a goblet?
Very nice though.

I think we have a match,  as for whether it's a goblet or rummer I'm not sure, it doesn't sit well in the hand for something you would drink out of, although it might make a good whisky tumbler !

[Paul S.]

yours looks more akin to an English rummer shape  -  rudimentary stem and with an ovoid type of bowl  -  I think goblets tend to be taller, with longer stem and perhaps cup shaped bowl.

take it you have searched for a mark  -  they can be very faint at times  -  but would agree a good match for Walsh.

Thanks again Paul, no mark to be found, going to look at those eye watering pages in the book now,
