IDENTIFY PLEASE....
« on: October 07, 2013, 04:02:26 PM »
Hi,
I'm new here.... I bought a piece of glass today from a charity shop and - although I have a collection of Murano, Mdina, Royal Brierley.... I cannot identify this piece... I suspect it to be Victorian - or a VERY good copy!!! It has a ground pontil... and stands between 5 and 6 inches tall....
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Red. UK. ;D

Hello and welcome to the gmb.  :)

I'm sorry to say I think your glass is probably contemporary Mexican or Spanish recycled glass, not Victorian at all.
