Old-ish wine glass no. 1
« on: August 30, 2011, 02:56:03 AM »
I picked this up a while ago and have been wondering about it ever since so now I have pics I'm seeking opinions please....

It has a greyish cast that I associate with older glass, and has a polished pontil mark on the base of the foot (just visible in the pic below), the bowl shows feint striations in the glass which I've not managed to get a pic of (like when pottery is made on a wheel) above the cut panels, and there's a bump up in the base of the bowl, the top rim is rounded off (not flat cut) so fire-polished?, the foot is very slightly irregular - i.e. not a perfect circle, and very slightly lopsided and the stem is very slightly off-centre, and the cuts vary ever so slightly in size too! So ever so slightly wonky but it's still a nice wee glass.

Height is 4⅝ inches tall, and it's 2½ inches in diameter at both the foot and the top rim.

It's going to be impossible to determine a maker I'm sure, but I'd be interested in opinions as to age please?
Cheers! Anne, da tekniqual wizzerd
