Hi,

Regards,
Sharon

My first thought would be a Roemer German glass

(in the taste of http://www.liveauctioneers.com/item/5746553 for example)
Title: ? Bohemian goblet or Italian

Hi,
Thanks for the reply, I can see the similarities, however it is quite a small, fine piece and the Roemer ones seem to have chunkier bases with ribbing  and etching on the bowls sometimes.
I shall attatch a couple more shots. It looks hand blown from the pontil, and is a dark red, which looks orangey held to the light. It is about 16cm high, 6cm across the top of the bowl, total depth of the bowl inside 8cm. I actually thought it was a candle holder at first.
Would appreciate any views?
Thanks. Sharon

What problem are you having with photos?

Every new post permits up to four images via the "Attach" facility.

Hi,
I think it may be because I had posted a separate reply with 4 photos?
I will try again..........
Tried, but keeps saying I can only have 125kb...
I was successful last night with other photos so can't understand it, however I'm technically inept so will get my pet geek to have a look later.........
Thanks
Sharon

Sounds like your pictures are not small enough but you can have 125kb per picture. Crop off the "waste" and then resize high-res pictures so that the longest dimension is 700 pixels and that should work.
