British & Irish Glass / Georgian glass
« Last post by Keith Mick on Today at 01:54:24 PM »Hi,
Found this a few weeks ago. Wondering if anyone has an opinion on the manufacture date? It looks like a rummer but is very thick in the bowl so I think it maybe a covered urn sadly deprived of it's lid! The square foot has had a life with enough chips for a fish supper! The lower bowl has slice cut panels and above is a cut pattern (wheat husk?). It's lead glass and still rings despite the thickness.
It's fairly small, only 10.8cm tall and 7.8cm across the bowl. At the bowl rim its 6mm or more thick, it varies a bit.
I have no doubt that its a real Georgian glass, the foot is a mass of wear and there are signs of age all over.
Any thoughts would be welcome,
Thanks,
Keith
