Scotlands Glass & Burns Crystal
« on: August 16, 2007, 06:12:06 PM »
Having just added the entire current catalogue of Burns Crystal (Engravers and Cutters since 1987) Link

138 items about 200 images (Another 800 images of etching designs still to come)

I thought it might be fun to try and ID where each blank is originated...  :cheers: clue: Crystal is made in either Europe or the Far East. The principal countries of origin are Italy, Poland and Czechoslovakia.

The prize is that where proven correct, you get an entry on the sites contributor page. :pty:

If anyone has examples of Burns Crystal work not showing... e.g. earlier work, I would appreciate images (also bigger pics to replace some of the smaller ones please)

The etching designs are all there too now, just under 800.

Scotland's glass now has 2,200 items and well over 6,000 images! Still just scratching the surface  :)
