<p>[QUOTE="Ce BCA, post: 3716743, member: 18716"]The glass is mid 19th century British. The style is very much in the Stourbridge/Birmingham type, that waisted cut hollow stem was a favourite of the Richardsons glass factory. The engraving looks to have been done on the copper wheel, the quality doesn't quite match the glass so was likely done outside the factory. It was of course common to have your items engraved during this time period if you were a family of note.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
