<p>[QUOTE="Cherryhill, post: 405068, member: 70"]Exactly. They indicate to me that the piece was pressed glass, the gray cuts added so that it (the piece) could be imported into the US of A as "cut glass", with a lower tariff,. There are pressed glass concerns in the US lobbying against importation of pressed glass, and have instituted a tariff to raise the price of imported pressed glass, but there are no Glass Cutting shops here to lobby for Tariffs, so <b>cut </b>pressed glass can be imported and sold cheaper than just pressed glass.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
