Topic: Beautiful Pair of Boxed Goblets Engraved by Peter Dreiser

[peejyweejy]

Hi.....have just taken ownership of these wonderful goblets engraved by Peter Dreiser. I have done some research on the Master engraver and read his orbituary. I would like to know, if possible, who these might have been made for. They come with a custom made presentation box in green faux leather. One is dated '71 - so I am assuming that these were engraved by him when he was freelancing. Any ideas please?

A close up!

wow!  I've a book on glass engraving by Peter Dreiser but I've just had a quick look through and there are no pictures of this in there.  It says 7/50 on your glass which might mean 50 were made?  so they may have been made for presentation for something or to a company perhaps?
Your photos don't blow up very big and it would be good to see the close up larger if you can

Thanks for your input "m" I agree about the photos but I had terrible problems uploading them. Just got a new pc with Windows 7 and it's all a bit new. Will try to upload some more

Beautiful engraving, nice it's of a shy little wildflower (and one of my favourites) rather than something more common and cultivated.

( but I'd want insects in it )

I think there were insects in it but I washed them out...LOL   Seriously...I agree!

Very gorgeous!  I have to say I don't own any engraved glass sadly -  I'm  envious  :mrgreen:

It has been brought to my attention that Peter Dreiser, as a freelancer, acquired some his glasses from Whitefriars, obviously, only prior to the factory's closure in 1980. As these glasses are dated 1971.....there is a possibility. However, they do not have a polished pontil, would this rule them out completely?

Also, is there any chance a kind moderator could add "Whitefriars" ? in the subject title please

For your information.....I have been communicating with a lovely lady who engraves glass and was trained by Peter Dreisner. She told me about the following and I just had to look them up!
