<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Brian Warshaw, post: 4455911, member: 16674&quot;]I haven’t even managed to find the shape of the glasses on the internet, so I an after a few search terms that I can use.</p><p><br /></p><p>Earlier this week I bought these five coloured glasses for a pittance, and on examining them found several anomalies that make me think I might have got a bargain.&nbsp; I’m hoping that you will help me understand what I found. </p><p><br /></p><p>The volume of the bowl is 100ml allowing for a small space at the top.&nbsp; Total height 12.5cm; lip diameter 5.5cm; foot diameter between 49.0 and 51.0cm, with one outlier of 47.6cm.</p><p><br /></p><p>The foot is clear glass, the rest is coloured, with the engraving to clear glass.&nbsp; The pattern is stylised bunches of grapes and leaves (I think).&nbsp; The front of the glass has two bunches, the rear only one, as can seen on the photographs, and the pattern is created by freewill not pre-ordained, as there are variations between glasses.&nbsp; The ball stems are marginally different shapes on each glass. Couldn’t find a makers mark anywhere.&nbsp; The joint between foot and stem is different on each glass, see photograph(s). The colour hues of the both pairs are marginally different from each other.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]383905[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>The pontil marks, I use that term loosely, are all a smooth finish.&nbsp; All five are different; one protrudes and is like a teat, one is almost, and the other have a small protrusions.&nbsp; The photograph with two feet shown illustrates a thread of glass has been dragged across it. In all cases there is a ring around them marked around them.</p><p><br /></p><p>I thought the shape was tulip, but hunting the Internet I could not find a similar profile anywhere.</p><p><br /></p><p>So in addition to ‘search terms’ could I have your views on modern or old, craftsman blown or bodger made, valuable or a wasted of my pittance?&nbsp; Would they have been made in Hungary or Czechoslovakia, or elsewhere?</p><p><br /></p><p>Look forward to your views.&nbsp; Thanks.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]383907[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]383908[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]383909[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]383910[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]383911[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]383912[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]383914[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]383915[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]383916[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
