Hi Cazza,

I presume this hock glass is acid marked on the base? If so, what is the mark, in order to give an idea of date.

I have checked my copies of the trade catalogues, but found it difficuly to match the pattern that appears tom be oon your glass - however to be honest that is a tad difficulut to make out properly :( The cross-cut diagonal diamond is easy, but what's going on between is a little difficult to make out.

Apologies, I meant to get back to this one before.

I cannot find this pattern in the catalogues I have, or in the "Crystal Stemware" book.
