hoping I might get this one correct. I have compared the image with a recent glass that was id'd as a champagne coupe - from which you can see that this smaller glass has a deeper bowl and a smaller diameter. Again, it has a ground/polished concave pontil mark and a glorious 'ding'. I have reason to believe it might be a peche melba glass from about 1900 (a 'dessert' that was created in honour of Dame Nellie Melba, the Oz opera singer, apparently). The bowl certainly looks too deep for a 'coupe' - height is about 5"/125mm, and the faceted stem is again hollow. The wheel engraved design is not quite a 'greek key motif', but near enough. Grateful for anyone's thoughts, and thanks for looking. :)
