Title: Victorian?
Post by: Hourglass on October 15, 2018, 09:32:58 AM

Recently acquired this weight described as a Victorian dump. All signs indicate it is of the period but the more expert identification would be appreciated. It is a very nice pale aqua colour glass, measures 3 and a half inches across, 3 and a quarter inches in height and weighs 2 pounds 4 and a quarter ounces.

Looks like those (20th C) produced at the glass museum in St Helens or by the Czech workers in the Pilkingon factory to me

I agree with Christine.
