Title: Is this a Stevens & Williams Intaglio Cut Wine Glass
Post by: mhgcgolfclub on January 03, 2019, 06:37:27 PM

Help please to confirm if this is a Stevens & Williams intaglio cut wine glass. The blue glass bowl is cut back to yellowish amber colour glass with a finely cut pattern. The stem and base is made from clear glass and also nicely cut.

Height 8.5"
Weight 201gm

I thought it may date to early 20th Century.

Thanks Roy

Certainly has the quality of S&W's and there is a wine glass on page 67 of 'The Crystal Years' in a very similar colour.

Thanks Keith

Looking through Charles Hajdamach 20th Century British Glass on page 29 the vase in the center  has a very similar cut pattern like lily pads / horse shoe shape which was a pattern designed by Joshua Hodgetts . Do you think that may be a possibility.

It has all the hallmarks, great piece and can't think who else made wine glasses like this, there are some on ebay claiming to be S&W's the prices are incredible !

My wife and I found a ring necked decanter on Andrew Lineham's website in the same colours and at the very least a very similar pattern attributed to Joshua Hodgetts.

I am finding it a little difficult to comprehend what I may of found as I have a complete set of 6. All the same shape, very slight difference in height. The cutting on each glass also shows slight variations which I think would be normal for hand cut glasses.

I think a little more research to be done to comfirm.

The glasses have been confirmed as Stevens & Williams 1898/1902 and attributed to John Orchard.

Just thought I'd add this link here to a glass from Josephinenhutte (title credit on link is to the Karknonskie Museum so presume that is where the piece is held), because on cased two colour glass we often talk about potential makers and I always think of S&W or Val St Lambert only:
