Topic: Any further info re flint intaglio hand engraved stourbridge tankard please?

Hi thanks for the info, the 1st label looks very very similar, if not the same due to wear? As the Flint is in the same place (but the word glass can't be seen) and proportionally it's right, as is the shape and there may be text top and bottom of that label on your link which looks like darker lines, sorry can't make it out? I can't open pin interest as I've not upload it so can't see images on it either I'm afraid sorry :/ I've found an old thread showing a hexagonal label on here though http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php?topic=56107.0 but that one has STUART written across it unless there's variations of the label text? I won't enroll in pin interest to look at pictures either as I don't know what they do with my data. Thanks for your help though

Hi Chriss, yes the one on Pinterest (which was originally on Etsy but sold and the image has gone from Etsy but is preserved on Pinterest still) is the same as the one you found on the board - I found 2 more examples of it on Picclick as well (no registration needed to view their images) http://ie.picclick.com/Stuart-Cut-Crystal-Modern-Glass-Purse-Atomiser-With-262428985851.html#&gid=1&pid=1

Sadly I cannot make out the detail of the words on the plastic one on Worthpoint or the one on your tankard, so am unable to compare them. But I did find a pic of a tankard which looks very like yours (with different decoration) but it does also have the Stuart acid mark on it:

The shape of this tankard has had a long run, here are two Victorian ones, one is dated 1890 and it's in mint condition, just dirt under the handle, the other has wear around the contact points both have tiny seeds in the glass and a blue grey colour to the glass. One is a pint and the other a half pint.
