Identification of glass beaker
« on: December 05, 2022, 06:49:56 PM »
Can any one help me learn something about this glass beaker. It was described to me as Bohemian Enameled.  I doubted this when the decoration was a very decorative but  badly joined up transfer print. This can be seen in the images. It measures 4inches in height and has rim diameter of 2.25ins.  The base is smooth  but not polished and there is a very feint  embossed “267 “ visible in reverse from the base.  To my eye the numbers did look Victorian in style and the pattern has an Aesthetic Movement look about.  It does have some charm and I would to know what it is. I have tried to find out more but do not seem to be getting anywhere.  Am I on the right track? Any views would be most welcome.

It's unfortunately not possible to see your photographs as they're too small. Could you upload them to 600x400 pixels - (I find this quite difficult when taking pics on my phone whereas never had a problem using the camera  >:(  )
That pixel size should give us pics that upload and enlarge so the detail can be seen.

They remind me design wise of some Turkish glass from Pasabahce but as I say, difficult to see any detail.

Thanks for your thoughts and advice. I have tried to upload a better image which possible confirms your suggestion that these are Turkish. Do they have any age?
Thanks Again

Hi M, Thanks for your thoughts. They do seem to be Turkish. I have never come across them before but then I was not looking in the right place. Thanks again for the pointer.
