<p>[QUOTE="Irenka, post: 9727307, member: 18829"]Hello again! I found this wonderful glass, well, I actually like it because of the repair that was made on it... isn't it just lovely how things were valued in the past? And that's exactly why I liked it so much that I had to buy it. It was, as you can imagine, very dirty, and after cleaning it, a mark emerged that I hope someone here could tell me more about. I've read online that the crown mark was put on glasses to ensure the correct volume of the glasses in pubs, so they wouldn't cheat the guests... I'm wondering if it's possible to determine approximately when the glass was made through this mark? Any opinion is more than welcome, and I thank you in advance.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]472797[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]472798[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]472799[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
