Title: Identification of cut glass help please
Post by: karelm on April 16, 2007, 04:05:34 PM

Hi,
I posted this recently but under some stupid title and therefore got no response :-[. I hope people dont mind me posting it again in the hope that somebody will be able to identify this lovely piece.

http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/displayimage.php?pos=-5341 (http://glassgallery.yobunny.org.uk/displayimage.php?pos=-5341)

The glass (I believe it may be a compote or small vase??) stands 14cm tall and is 7 cm wide at the top.  The base is cut with an 8 pointed star.  4 windows cut in the sides (2 small 2 larger) that are further decorated with flowers, leaves and fruit(?). This picture is rapeated on the other side above the small window and the two pictures are seperated by the 2 larger windows. 12 small horizontal windows (pointies?) on the upper basal ring and 8 on the basal ring. 
Anyone want to take a shot at who or what it may be?
Would it be hand cut or machined in some way?

Thanks for the help and kind regards

Most likely Bohemian, certainly not English.

Thanks Frank,
Fits in with where I bought it...any websites worth having a look at to find any information as I have no clue really.
Thanks and kind regards,
