Glass Message Board

Thanks Anne,I think my bottle maybe an example of his early signage
mark ?,but not certain.

I am looking for some help to confirm (or otherwise) my opinions on the sweetmeat glass in the pictures. It has a flared ogee bowl on a capstan stem with angular medial knop. The conical foot is quite flat but has a snapped pontil. I believe, from the stem and foot that this is from the early 19th century - perhaps 1800 - 1830. The bowl and foot have clear striations but there are no clear pucella marks - which, i believe, ties in with the date that I suggest. There are quite a few small inclusions and tiny air bubbles and the glass weighs a hefty 445g. It is 14.4cm high, the bowl diameter is 10.8cm and the foot is 9cm. There is a fair amount of wear to the base of the foot but not a great deal of the small nicks to the rim which would be present on a wine glass - this presumably is what would be expected from a sweetmeat which would not be held in the hand much. I have looked everywhere for similar glasses to this but can find nothing, which surprises me.
Any ideas or, ideally, info on similar glasses would be welcome.
Thanks for looking.

Hi, any ideas on a maker and approx date for this glass? It's quite large at 7 1/8 inches or just over 18 cm tall and is well made, with enough wear to be back well into the 20th century. It has a polished pontil and a gorgeously cut stem in a pattern Stuart used for some of their designs. It also has an engraved crown on the bowl.
Any help appreciated
Cheers
Keith

Hello and welcome. 

Googling the name brought this link from 2021 up.

I have copied and pasted this bit from the bottom of the article. If you were to contact them they might be able to help?

Having said that, your vase is not what would be called a traditional cut, but a rather more scarce kind known as "Art Cut", which was tried by a few companies around the 1930s. It was not as popular as anticipated at the time, but it is appreciated much more now.
I'm sorry, but we do not give valuations. What something is worth is what somebody else is willing to pay for it, in that location, at that time. It can get very contentious arguing about money and we don't want to get bogged down with that, or have accusations leveled at us if something disappoints.
Once you have a identity, you can search the web yourself for previous sales to get a ball-park figure.
We're here to identify glass.

Surprisingly heavy m, 1lb 12oz. and 1lb 14oz. The seller described them as Kastehelmi pattern by Oiva Toikka.
