Hi,

There are a number of replacement glass websites on the interweb. These would be the best place, apart from a lucky find on ebay - but it would be best if you knew who the manufacturer was in order help them find what your looking for ;) :)

Sorry a bit difficult to tell from the photo, a tad on the dark side :-\

Hi,  Can you provide measurement of the glass and would it be possible for you to place the item on a black matt finish background when taking a photo image? or can someone else advice?  The only reason I am suggesting this is because I have sent images in the past and they have been very poor and had to resend them. I too am not very good at taking photo's but have learned to persevere when having to do them again.  I hope you are able to replace your wine glass. ::)

looks very much like one of the standard machine made ARQUES glasses. Not sure if these are still in production, but they have been for a very long time.  You should have no problem picking a set of these up in any charity shop - or maybe you get lucky at http://www.cristaldarquesparis.com/

I think your glass is "Cristal D'Arques Longchamp Gold" - they have some on Ebay.

Die Erfahrung lehrt, dass, wer auf irgendeinem Gebiet zu sammeln anfängt, eine Wandlung in seiner Seele anheben spürt. Er wird ein freudiger Mensch, den eine tiefere Teilnahme erfüllt, und ein offeneres Verständnis für die Dinge dieser Welt bewegt seine Seele.
Experience teaches that anyone who begins to collect in any field can feel a change in his soul. He becomes a joyful man filled with a deeper empathy, and a more open understanding moves his soul.
Alfred Lichtwark (1852-1914)
