<p>[QUOTE="DragonflyWink, post: 106097, member: 111"]Okay, I'm popping in - can't add much, except to say that if it fits reasonably well, the base and insert are most likely original to each other, and though it's rather subdued compared to the more over-the-top Victorian era American silverplate, the dating should be pretty firmly 1880s-90s, the rim looks nicely finished and see no reason that it would have had a metal collar and it's actually unlikely. The manufacturers rarely noted much about the glass, and if they did, it was usually 'imported' or specifically noted as 'Bohemian', where most came from - will run through a few catalogs and books in a bit, don't have any Webster catalogs, but sometimes the same glassware will show up in some other piece, a long shot really, but can probably at least find something along similar lines...</p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
