It's not too easy to make out the pattern Lynn, can you add more pics please? A side view, one of the base, and a pattern closeup would help. Thanks.

Much better thank you. :)  It looks like one of the Libochovice patterns (part of the Czech Sklo Union group) but I can't find this exact shape in the catalogues on Marcus' CD. What does the base look like Lynn?

Marcus' book and CD is must for each glass collector  ;D - see www.sklounion.com.

I agree with Anne that this piece is Czech, but it is probably leaded pressed crystal made in Bohemia Podebrady.

Hi,

Definitely Czech, definitely Libochovice. It does not appear in the circa 1958 catalogue, but may have been discontinued prior to that, hence no pattern number.
