New (replacement) beer glass required
« on: June 28, 2023, 05:47:28 PM »
Hello. I am trying to replace a glass. I only have one photo (attached). This had been in the family for a hundred + years I believe. Does anyone know who made it and if / where I may be able to find a replacement? It holds about a pint. Thank you.

Hello and welcome. :)
Are there any faint etched marks on it? Try looking on the base, even if it is star cut, an etch mark is often over that. Put it under a strong light source (I use my gas hob lights) and turn it around at different angles to see if you can find anything.
The cut does look kind of familiar but cut glass isn't really my area.

Have you searched here?

Thanks Sue. It had a star base. Sadly it is no longer in my possession to look for marks (broken)! I will look at that website, thank you. Matt

I'd stick to british makers to start off with. Webb-Corbett, Edinburgh, Harbridge or Tudor would be the first I'd search, because those are the ones I have had a little look at.
In the bottom section, are the diamond shapes all graduated to fit around the slope of the side?
