Wow! What a great piece! Does this big wavy cut pattern of the vessel have a special name? I know, the rest is much more stunning - just wondering... :thup:

thank you ! i just found a little booklet named " English Rock Crystal Glass - 1878-1925 "- Dudley Art Gallery . it dates to 1976 and on the cover i see the same type of engraving with nearly the same bird - it must be the same engraver - and it is described as a " Rock Crystal decanter by Stevens & Williams 1885 " and it has the same big wavy cut pattern of the vessel as mine has.
plate 15 ! :or:

It is really lovely - >:D but I'm not swapping my Alison Kinnaird lantern for it, Thomas, you'd have to come up with something much better before I part with that! I'm wondering, do you actually have the booklet you mention? And if you do, is there anything like the decanter I have which I suspected might be rock-crystal cut?
