[QUOTE="wlwhittier, post: 10321934, member: 76316"]I know...I gotta do better with my pics; these are in the first full sun inna couple weeks, with a new camera, without a dark filler for pattern definition...I'll open with these, an' beg y'alls patience. This was said to have been one of a crystal set; a wedding present in 1915; this was the only one of this size remnant; there were 6 slightly taller an' 5 others of various size. It is without flaw; it does show very slight wear on the bottom, hard to capture. It is ~3 3/4" high, ~3" rim diameter, ~2 7/16" foot diameter; it weighs 300 grams. 2 panels (pic 3) are 8-pointed star within another 8-pointed star; the other 2 panels (pic 1, 2 & 5) are 'pineapple' with diamond facets, each facet cut with a cross.
