<p>[QUOTE="ValerieK, post: 2781368, member: 7360"]This little moulded (or pressed?) glass egg cup came in a recent job lot of blue and white porcelain egg cups. It is very poorly finished, the maker has had to file away some excess glass from between the scallops at the top but left the job unfinished. The colour is attractive but there are darker streaks of unblended colour which look like cracks but aren't. I think it is meant to resemble early cut glass but falls far short of the expertise of cut glass items. There is a star shape in the base which may possibly be cut or moulded. It all sounds terrible but in fact the colour makes it quite a pretty little object. Does anyone have any ideas on who might have made it, and when? I'm in the UK but maybe it came from a little workshop somewhere like the Far East. [ATTACH=full]280031[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]280037[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full][/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
