[QUOTE="Marie Forjan, post: 392430, member: 147"]Wheel cut designs are very hard to ID. There were many decorating companies who bought the undecorated glass from the glass manufacturers and did the cutting. Since each piece it done by hand there can be variations from stem to stem and the designs are rarely documented. The only times I have had luck IDing a wheel cut design is when it was done in house by the glass manufacturer or done by one of the big decorating companies like Lotus. They often did document their cut designs. The reality is you may never find an exact match, and certainly in 2-1/2 weeks it is highly unlikely. You may find something close, would that do?
