Topic: Cut Crystal Wine Glass Uranium Stem

[NevB]

This is an 18cm. tall wine glass cut with stems and leaves on the bowl and leaves on the uranium glass foot. I thought at first it might have been by somebody like Webb and Corbett but I can't find an English make with the raised design of foot. I'm now leaning towards it being Italian as overall I think it looks like a classical Italian glass. There isn't much wear on the foot but the contact area is very small and it might not show.

To find wear on a base with only a tiny contact ring, use the tip of your fingernail.
You can feel it, even if you can't see it.
My feelings about it are very Bohemian.

The shape is similar to Hall-in-Tyrol façon de Venise goblets so maybe a much later glass inspired by an early style. (I think that’s Bohemia  )

It might also help to call it a goblet, when researching an English Victorian glass of mine, this type of foot seemed quite popular on goblets.

Thanks Sue that's a good tip. I can feel lots of tiny nibbles which are actually just visible in a different light. Thanks ekimp, "facon de Venise describes it quite well. I've had a quick look and it could be Bohemian but more research is needed. Venini Murano used a similar foot on their vases in the 1920's/30's but I don't think it's by them.

if you shine a torch over the surface, you might be able to see a little wear at the right angle.
But fingernails are really very good, unless you chew them. 

My Grandpa had cocktail glasses very similar to this, with the same sort of cutting on the bowl (not on the base) and the stems were amber. I thought those were Bohemian - a different colour of stem and base with a clear bowl often does, to me.

The cut and polished rim suggests Czech or other Continental country to me, but not Venetian. 1930s-1950s IMO

Looking for something else in McConnell’s The Decanter and noticed Stuart did a glass much like this, sold with a decanter as No.26933 in 1932-33. It had a cllear bowl available with a green or gold foot. The book shows a plain one from the catalog and also a photo of one with similar style of cutting to the bowl (but a completely different cutting design). Might be a possibility if the rim fits etc. Page 407

A Stuart rim would be heat polished. And I don't think Stuart ever did green uranium

Thanks for the info Ekimp and Christine, I had a look at Stuart glasses but couldn't find anything similar but at least the ones you show have got the "trumpet" foot . I can't find one anywhere with the same foot, knop and bowl shape.
