Think mine is engraved also

That’s good then.

I can see no reason why your glass and mine are not victorian. I don’t suppose it would ever be possible to know the maker...but I did think Powell was a possibility.

It doesn't have the feel, weight or colour of an old piece

In the Lesley Jackson Whitefriars book (page 28) there is a quote from Joseph Leicester from about 1878 saying about Whitefriars glass “Light as Venetian, pure as the diamond”.

In the book it says “The Paris Universal Exhibition of 1878 marked a turning point, after which date the new simplified Venetian-inspired glass made by Whitefriars would increasingly gain favour at the expense of Salviati”. I thought our glasses might be described as ‘Venetian-inspired’.

Venetian inspired will do me !

There is a similar type goblet in the British Museum with acid etched decoration by John Northwood, they have a suggested attribution of Stevens and Williams for the glass itself, c1870:

Could we move this to the Glass section until we know for sure it's British or Irish Glass please?

I mean it could be French maybe?  for example.  It's most likely not, but still. I think if there is no id it should remain in the Glass section just in case
