Topic: Help to ID Glass - Goblet, Vase - possibly American?

[Scolada]

Hello Again,

I just wanted to follow up and ask another questions or two. I've been through every glass book I have now page by page and I've drawn a relative blank. That said, one book I found had a small glass compote that had a rolled over lip much the same as this and a similar makeup (no where near the same but general shape) and that was believed to be Irish in origin dating to the late 18th century to 1825. Does anyone think that this type of thing could have been produced in Ireland around that time? I'm literally grasping at straws at the moment. Thanks again for the help.

Scott.

the rolled lip design is REALLY hard to research on. I have a piece with that and spent months looking at various pieces trying to get a handle on it.  And it's really hard to do so, therefore I gave up trying to use the rolled edge as a 'marker'.

I think the stem and foot is more of a marker than that to be honest, and then you have to look at the whole 'picture', the design, the way it is made, any pontil mark, the heft/weight of the glass, the way the 'frosting' has been done, the cut and polished lenses etc.
All those design elements together will need to point to  a final identification - also to used for eliminating who, or where it may not be from - it's not easy.  I would discount looking for the rolled edge as that will put you very off beam except as a 'final' consideration.  Sorry.

I think the sand blasting probably puts it much later. Sand blasting was patented in the USA in 1870. I think it's likely American

Going on Christine's dating and it possibly being American then, it might help to search for goblets.  If you can find a matching stem that might lead to other investigations as the name of the maker should come up.
The Corning has a large selection of goblets (but terri ble site to use as it is very slow to load the pictures and find a whole picture, it tends to only give you parts of pictures once you click on them).  It would be worth searching through those as they have many. If instead of clicking on the picture you hover your mouse over the item it should show the maker which makes it much faster to search although the picture is quite small at that point.

Sorry can't help on possible makers for that later period but they might come up as a list if you search 'American Glass  19th century'? which would give you something to start looking at.
