Title: Antique Small Glasses - help appreciated :)
Post by: MissCuriosity on October 28, 2014, 01:31:57 AM

Hi all,

I would be really grateful if anyone could shed any light on the probable maker of these 4 glasses I have. I've been searching on the net for ages, thought they were Moser, but I've emailed Moser and the design is not one of theirs.

They stand at around 4.5" inches tall, have gold around the tops and on the bases, enameled or painted flowers, and a raised gold pattern on the fronts. The stems are possibly crystal, and are twisted with a scales design too.

They're in excellent condition - no chips or scratches, but the gold is slightly worn in places, I presume due to age.

Thanks! :)

This type of enamelling is generally Czech or Murano and has been used for a long time (and it still is) but I think these are probably 1950s Czech from the shape of the stem.

Thanks Lustrousstone - I do have some Murano pieces but they're nothing like these, so that's really helpful and interesting.

Do you think they're worth anything?

Thanks.
