Topic: Cameo type glass or not ?

Ah thanks, I missed that

Yes, you were spot on I can’t see past the Green Man type face on the one in the book.

Thank you both so much  I'll try and look that up, well done ! made me a happy old man !

Keith, could you confirm if this has a cut or fire polished rim? This has come up on another topic and would be useful to know if it has the ground pontil scar in addition to a cut rim. It looks to me like one of the high quality cut and polished rims, where they have chamfered the edges, but it’s not that clear from the photos. Thanks.

Will get back to you on this tomorrow, been having trouble getting on the GMB recently.

Fire polished, bit late answering, been obsessed with a new hobby !

[Ekimp]

Thanks for checking and getting back. I wonder how they achieved the clear band at the top, they have ground away the red overlay at some point, presumably after the hot work was finished. You would think they would’ve just ground the rim at the same time. Hope the new hobby doesn’t take much shelf space

It might not have been cased completely to the top Ekimp.
There are other examples where the casing doesn't quite go to the top I think - I seem to remember wondering about why some pieces have a faint clear edge at the rim.

The new hobby takes up space but not on a shelf, it's do it myself classical guitar
