Glass / Re: Cut lead crystal flower or hyacinth bulb vase for ID please
« Last post by thewingedsphinx on Today at 09:41:13 PM »When I first saw this post I thought surely not a hyacinth vase as it look very thick in construction and being of cut glass unlikely. Also the polished out pontil makes me think 1810 ish.
I just looked in my Phelps Warren book on Irish glass and there are some examples of Prussian shaped decanters with a large wide opening for a bulb to sit in on the top. They appear larger than this with far more decorative cutting styles. But this one could very well be an early flower vase from around 1810 ish.
Possibly Irish ?
