I bought this cut & engraved goblet yesterday, described as "Possibly French, 20th century". It's quite sharply cut, with 'notches' all down the knop and stem, and a star-cut foot. It stands 9.75 inches (24.5cm) tall and is 4 inches (10cm) across the top. Does anyone recognise the pattern? Thank you.

Can I please 'bump' this? Thanks.

oh, crikey, I don't half struggle with cut stuff!
(to my non-flowery eyes, everything flowery just looks the same...... fancy-flowery :spls: )
I was having a peek at claretjugcollector's champagne glasses, because I thought they looked a bit like this, but having checked, they're not.
However, there's been talk of Tudor, for which I have always harboured a small affection, because I have a set of (post-war) wine glasses which belonged to my Grandpa. There is cross-hatching on the centres of the flowers in your piece and in my glasses - but the flowers on my glasses are thistles - there's a strong liklihood that this is just the way thistles are depicted, rather than it being any sort of "feature" typical of any maker.
Your glass is pretty tall - is it a wine glass? or something completely different?

Sue - hope you won't mind if I enlarge a little on your reference to 'Tudor' - as it is possible that there may be people other than me who do not understand fully your comment :). 'Tudor' (in a fairly heavy Gothic script) was registered as a trade name in 1927 by The Stourbridge Glass Company Ltd., (User Claimed from 20th May 1924). This mark was revised for use during the 1930's, apparently, to 'MADE IN/TUDOR/ENGLAND' (acid marked in three lines), and with the word Tudor a little less Gothic - as per the attached pic. I don't have anything marked simply 'TUDOR' unfortunately.
Reference: British Glass between the wars - Editor Roger Dodsworth - 1987.

I have a wine glass by Jack Lloyd of Tudor which has the pre-war company marking. Bowl was signed by J.Lloyd.

Very nice! :D Definitely no marks or sig on mine, I'm afraid :-\ I have bought and am collecting at the weekend a Tudor bowl engraved (and signed!) by Jack Lloyd. The goblet is very nice, but I don't think it's quite the same quality. I have no idea why the seller identified it as "Possibly French"! Does anyone else know what might lead them to that conclusion? Or could anyone suggest a possible French maker?
Thanks to everyone for comments (even Sue, who doesn't like 'fancy-flowery' :kissy: ) :)

to me it looks french - 1, because of the star cut burst
2, because of the rips on the stem ... :-[
