Topic: Geo/Vic style, but 20th C?

[Steve in Cumbria]

Hi all 

Only just found this site, and my first post.

I recently picked up the glass as pictured, and frankly, I'm a tad confused.

Round funnel bowl, striation to the foot, and general demeanour suggests Georgian. Hollow, hexagonal facet cut stem, and polished pontil suggest later. Fuchsia engraving is not something I've ever seen apart from 20th C glass.

Approx. 5.25" high, 2.25" across the rim, 2.5" across the foot.

My feeling is that the entire thing is too "busy". The engraving is too perfect. The metal is too clean (though is does have a couple of tiny inclusions).

I'm of the opinion that this is a 20th C piece, possibly continental. Extremely well made, by someone with a degree of skill, but not old.

However, I'm hoping someone more expert than me may be able to shed some light on this please?

TIA,

Steve

Nice glass Is that two concentric lines of circles around the
base of the bowl? If it is i usually think of that sort of thing
on decanters of the 1880 period and English but this is a glass
however i think it maybe 1880-1920 period well made too.
sorry no help

Forgot to mention those, but yes, two rows of circles at the bottom of the bowl... would "lens" cuts be the correct term?

Hi, and welcome to the forum.

Nice looking glass. I think ‘lens’ is ok for those round cuts but they might also be called ‘pinties’.

I have a glass with a similar stem....but I’m not too sure about the date for that either, I was assuming earlyish 20th century but haven’t come across anything definitive yet
