Edinburgh Crystal Dunkeld Vase.
« on: October 23, 2024, 09:53:58 AM »
Replacements.com identifies this as a Dunkeld vase "crafted in France/Scotland". The blank I believe made in France and cut in Scotland. Height 12", weight a hefty 6lb. 12oz., lead crystal. I bought it as I was curious about the etched mark on the base which is obscure but the bottom word might read something like "St. Aquintus" ?

I think the mark says “EDINBURGH CRYSTAL” but is upside down in your photos. Looks like it might match the mark shown here: https://www.scotlandsglass.co.uk/cms/index.php?option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=6&category_id=182&page=shop.browse&limit=30&limitstart=150

Thanks Ekimp, I did consider that but however much I looked at it I couldn't get it to read that. After another look, I think you are right.

Looks like they got as much use out of the stencil as they could, I imagine they must wear out quickly.
