Stuart Crystal - Is this Glengarry
« on: August 23, 2015, 11:06:01 AM »
Hiya

I’m clearing out a few of my late mother’s effects and a number of assorted glasses including 6 of these tumblers/rummers.

There is a definite Stuart etched mark on the base of the glass but would anyone be able to confirm the pattern?

From what I have been able to see looking at other sites, it looks very similar to the Glengarry pattern, however there does seem to be two extra cuts to the star?

Your suggestions would be welcome :)

G

Hi - would agree that the pattern lacks some of the cuts of Glengarry.             If you look at the catalogue site Replacements Ltd. (States based) you'll see that Stuart did a lot of this sort of alternating fan splits (the upright cuts) and rather basic criss-cross (noughts and crosses/tick tack toe) grid patterns - probably so did others - although we do know this is Stuart.
Don't know if you have already tried this source, if so there are others, and it can sometimes take a while to track down patterns, so patience is essential.

Of course, someone here may have the answer for you. :)              Welcome to the GMB by the way.
