as already mentioned, there is the usual common conclusion - and no doubt accurate most of the time - that bevelled edges tend to indicate a Continental manufacture, and rims with scalloping in some form/size were common on many form of cut table glass. I doubt that these newly revealed features are going to change our thoughts much beyond what we've already discussed, but they do show that this piece was once a fine piece of glass that was cut and embellished very much with an upmarket clientele in mind.
Somewhere in the dim distant past I seem to recall that we once discussed what was thought to be a feature that allegedly indicated whether a lidded piece might have originated either as British or Continental - though whether the theory really 'held water' I've no idea.
From memory the suggestion depended on whether the lid had its locating rim (beneath the top part) either inside or outside the main body, but now can't remember which way round it was ................. might have been that if the rim located on the inside then likely British, and if outside then possibly Continental ...... but maybe a load of old tosh anyway ................ just seem to recall someone considered it worth discussing.
