<p>[QUOTE="ValerieK, post: 2760206, member: 7360"]Yes, the shape and finish are very like Bourne Denby, who still make goblet-like egg cups similar to this one. But the deterioration is very odd, and to date to the 20th century would mean it had been really badly treated, as if it had been put in a dishwasher and then in a freezer and then buried in the ground . . . I was wondering if it was something earlier, a pottery style which Denby then continued years later. If it weren't for the terrible crazing I would think it a really good object, I have a few Denby pieces, none with crazing! Perhaps I will try to find a Denby collectors' club and ask them, if one exists.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
