Custard cup, is it old and any other info please
« on: October 05, 2008, 01:56:44 PM »
I bought this, and other things at a large charity sale yesterday. I think it's old but not sure. The glass has a greyish tinge to it which makes me think old and just the general feel of it.

Don't know if it helps with this one in particular, but this is a great site for helping to date glasses and decanters based on shapes etc - http://www.great-glass.co.uk/glass%20notes/drink.htm
