[QUOTE="quirkygirl, post: 62263, member: 106"]I sure do love this type of engraved crystal with fine gray-cut leaves and small cut, polished details- even though it's next to impossible to ID the maker/engraver. This vase measures about 4" high, 6" across, with a 2 3/8" opening ... weighs only 6.5oz ... rings beautifully. But it is sick ... milky rainbow tinted waterstains - mainly on the bottom inside. I've tried denture tablets with no improvement. Any suggestions? Do you think this an odd shape for a vase? Could it have been a bottle/decanter when it was born ... but had its neck removed? [ATTACH=full]15981[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]15982[/ATTACH] here's the worst of the sickness [ATTACH=full]15983[/ATTACH] This piece reminded me of a tumbler I showed on the old P & G board at "the other place" ... never could ID that one either - and am still looking for a mate to it.
