Fine Etched Acorns Glasses I have no idea....can you help please
« on: November 26, 2020, 04:10:43 PM »
Hello,

I wonder if anyone can help me.  I have no history and no idea about these glasses.  I will tell you what I see and also I have attached some photos to help.  They are very thin glass with a small polished pontil.  Very thin stem which is plain with no collar and goes straight into the bowl.  This is beautifully etched in very fine detail with acorns in cups and oak leaves, also has fine detailing on the branches and this pattern is continuous around the bowl.  Just below the top rim with a ring of tiny etched dots and 2 very fine rings.  I cannot tell you how fine the etching is but hope you can get an idea from the photos.

Can anyone throw any light on age, maker or engraver??

Any help greatly appreciated.  Thanks Jenny

Hello, sorry but you need to add some more photos, it's difficult to pick out the detail against the background. Try experimenting with different plain backgrounds until you get the best one and if you can increase the size to between 70-100 kb. Also add a photo of the bottom.
