Title: Etched glass beaker/tumbler
Post by: chloe on November 02, 2008, 09:05:34 PM

This one and the wine glass (see other post) were ina job lot of glass called 'mixed Dartington glass' - everything else in the lot I've already found other identities for!  So, could this be Dartington?  And if not, any ideas?

Thanks

No Dartington, particularly not with that yellowish tinge. Possibly 1950s or earlier, but lots of companies used fern motifs and for a long time.

fern motif was popular after 1860 - i think this is a lemonade tumbler from approx 1890-1910
