I think this might be water wave, I think there Webbs but not signed.

Large goblets measuring 6 inches in height, 3 inches across the rim and base.

some of these patterns are so difficult to be certain of, especially in clear glass - this one looks to have almost a chevron pattern running down the glass  -  really not sure Chris.        Are you comparing this one with 'Water Wave' in Charles Hajdamach's book?

I read the post Paul and had a look in the two books I have 20c glass and British glass 1800 -1914 and could not see it, the glass has a definite zig zag pattern right to the base, a nice ring, i'm guessing this general shape had a long run and a few patterns having had early signed ones with polished pontils to these which look 40's 50's at a guess.

Hey hey... I had a Webb honeycomb vase (at least I assume it was honeycomb) and I kinda wish I hadn't sold it really. It was definitely Webb 'cos it was etched 'Webb made in England' underneath, which was handy. It was a lovely pink and a whopping 250mm high. I seem to remember there's one (but not pink) in a museum in Stourbridge. Sorry about the quality of the picture but it's the only one I have. It look a helluva lot better than this in real life!
