Title: Cut glass dish - Tell me more please!

I found this lovely cut dish/plate:

This sort of thing leaves me really flummoxed and in need of answers: how old? where from? etc

The base has about the most wear I have seen on an item but that's partly down to it's weight I presume. It has a blue/greenish undertone which is shown in the second Flickr link above quite accurately.

Where do you start with something like this?

hello Adam  -  regret I can't give you the answers that you want..........unless these is a back stamp (which assume you don't have?), then I'm about as confused as you when it comes to cut glass.     On the other side of the pond they are catered for vastly more than us with cut glass data sites (run by collectors) and they have encyclopedic webb sites with untold patterns to view  -  regrettably there doesn't seem the same interest here.    You might start by looking here (which is a States webb site) - at least it might eliminate some sources.   http://cutglass.org/

Sorry Anne - patience is not a strong point.

Thanks Paul that's helpful. I did actually think this had an American look to it - can't explain why however. Maybe I'll get lucky on there.
