<p>[QUOTE="Ce BCA, post: 4121814, member: 18716"]The style is Anglo-Irish from the early 19th century, similar items were made elsewhere and at later dates. The Irish examples usually have some decent colour diffraction in the sunlight, so you should be able to see some colours in the sun (not as obvious as modern 24% Pbo) and they are very heavy. English examples tend to be more grey and dull, later examples are less well produced in general, although cutting accuracy may be better on more modern pieces.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
