Title: Stumped again! Beautiful Engraved Glass~Any ideas?
Post by: suzzi on August 28, 2011, 04:21:10 AM

Here is another piece of absolutely gorgeous glass that I picked up. I was thinking it was Hawkes, Steuben, etc., but found no matches. It measures about 7" x 2.5" and is cut on a heavy very clear blank. There is 1049 scratched on the bottom, but don't know what that is. Any ideas, info would be appreciated. Thanks folks!~Suzzi

I agree it is gorgeous - I like it very much.  :chky:

The number could mean several things.
(a)  The engravers code
(b)  A range number
(c)  It may also be a pawnbroker's mark so he can identify precisely which bowl was stock number 1049.  I have seen that done for a Stuart decanter.

It's beautiful and I have no idea who did it either, but I'd love to know!
