Title: ID help for neo-classical glass :D
Post by: samkhk on October 16, 2011, 08:19:15 AM

I've managed to procure a pair of beautiful glass from Florence, Italy, which I think is neo-classically styled. There are no markings anywhere on the glasses.

I've not been able to find any information on it - not even from the guys at Replacements.com, so I am hoping someone could shed some light on it - as i'm in love with them.

The foot of the glass looks like that of Lalique's Argos collection (as seen from http://www.crystalclassics.com/lalique/stems/argosflutes.htm)

While the leaf indents on the body of the flute is reminiscent of Baccarat's Harcourt collection (as seen from http://www.voltex.me.uk/harcourt-glass-baccarat-pid2182.htm)

I haven't been able to find an online image that combines the two main characteristics.

Attached are pictures of the glass.

For no particular reason they remind me of Bayel Crystal I have seen some time back.

Use board search for square foot - seem familiar.

thanks for the information!

unfortunately, it doesn't seem like Bayel made those...but upon searching in the boards for 'square foot' it did bring up a wealth of information - especially these pages:

http://www.great-glass.co.uk/library/libindex.htm
http://www.glas-musterbuch.de/

i'm still poring through them; hopefully i'll be able to find more information on their maker!

if anyone has more information, please add on. Thank you so much, I appreciate it very much.
