A nice charity shop find today, it was glowing on the shelf. I've got a few jugs in this type of glass but this is the first piece with an Andries Dirk Copier mark, used from 1914-67, as seen below in the Leerdam section. 16cm. high and 10cm. diameter, I'm not sure of its purpose, a vase or large drinking glass maybe.

I've seen one online identified as "winterbeker"/wintercup design from 1923 but I can't confirm that, but it is a drinking vessel.

It is Winterbeker pattern, several examples online.

Nice find.... I love charity shop hunting ;D ;D ;D
I do not collect this area, more of a Swedish, British, Japanese and animal figures collector but can appreciate it, so no competition at the charity shops from me lol
Good hunting

A Winterbeaker looks spot on, one of the nine beakers designed in 1923 so not a vase. That is early in Copiers career and he was only 22. Winterbeker became a name possibly because some beakers were decorated with a winter scene. According to Complete Copier by Joan Temminck and Laurens Geurtz that etched mark is on production glass circa 1923-1945 (different dates when on Serica).
A clear photo of the profile of the foot would be good.

Thanks for that John, here's a profile photo.

That confirms it nicely, the nine beakers "all with ringed foot" is how they are described in the Copier book, this particular shape is shown as well (page 84) and described as KO 656, 1923.

Thanks again John.
