<p>[QUOTE="Ownedbybear, post: 613790, member: 29"]Almost certainly made in Stourbridge, given that was the great heartland of British 19th C glass. Even the engraving may have been done there: it's a bit like Birmingham with silver, stuff was commissioned and made for all over the Empire, let alone the UK. If a local Scottish engraver did the work, they probably bought the glass in. Shape and so on looks fine for the date.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
