Hi,
I was surprised to find what looked like a Victorian frosted goblet in a mixed box of stuff at a local car boot last weekend. Even more surprised when I realised there was a pair and both in good nick. Has anyone got any insight into the maker of these glasses? I believe Richardson invented the acid etch frosting process and made different designs including similar goblet types. Whitefriars also made similar glasses and perhaps other makers.
They have quite a large bowl 8.5cm at the rim and stand just over 16cm high. The bowls seem slightly unusual in having no cut decoration unlike the examples I've found online and the knop arrangement doesn't match any I've seen.
They're in very good condition despite showing wear to the feet and bowl rims, inclusions and small bubbles.
They have a beautiful ping which seems to last for ages!
Any thoughts on ID or general comments welcome.
Thanks,
Keith
