<p>[QUOTE="Ce BCA, post: 4399375, member: 18716"]It is definitely old, it dates from around 1750, known as an air twist glass. Almost certainly English, dates to the Georgian period. To date no one has managed to replicate these with enough skill to fool experts. Some writings suggest apprenticeships for making glasses like this (and later opaque twists) took 15 years. They are relatively valuable, and that double twist isn't a common form, but sadly the damage is going to pull it down a lot.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
