Title: Signed Crystal Cut Wine Glasses Pineapple Pattern, but by whom?
Post by: Della on October 25, 2017, 02:33:38 PM

Hi all,
I have these 4 wine glasses with, what looks like, a pineapple and oval pattern. 2 are initialled underneath, JK & 2 FC . All have the same, incredibly blurred acid stamp on the base too. The nearest shape for the stamp that I can find is Webb Corbett, although I cannot find a pattern match anywhere.
Does anyone recognise the pattern & maker, please?
TIA
Della

 ???
Has somebody been trying to dremmel a Joseph Reidel mark on them?
I have been told, from somebody in the catering trade (this was a good while ago, I'm not sure Bormioli have not overtaken them) that; "You can tell the top restaurants, they have Reidel glassware."
Reidel marks are etched, not written by hand.
Sorry if this is nonsense. Cut stuff is not my area. :)

That was my first thought, Sue, but it is definitely JK.

Our brains appear to be in sync. (Go and have a lie down and a glass of something nice; you need it!)
I also suspect the blurred mark could easily be Webb Corbett. I can almost see the double lines of the script even if i can't see any letters.  ;D

Thanks for that, Keith.
Wonder why the initials are there  ???
