Footed sea-green swirl goblet or dish
« on: February 02, 2014, 06:39:28 PM »
It is difficult to know where a goblet ends and dish begins nowadays but I think this is a footed dish.  I am sure I have seen it somewhere before but can't think.  Can anyone help?
The glass is q. thick - over 3mm and the height is 10.2cm.
Yours sincerely,
Ian

The pontil mark is incompletely polished with some residual sharpness and the trailing is very slightly raised when felt.

It reminds me a bit of George Elliot (very nice btw).

Perfume with similar decoration: http://www.glassmessages.com/index.php/topic,53030.0.html

What is the splash of red/blue colour from in your photos?

Sorry, the splash of colour was my TV.  My bad.  I agree that it certainly looks like both of these items but is unsigned.  Did George Elliot at Bewdley borrow from anybody else (or any other more classic designs) for these pieces?

I think he would be right out there on his own if he did not, after thousands of years of glass making very little is truly original. All designers/makers need to get their inspiration to innovate or their starting point from somewhere.
