Ook, my first cut glass items

I have no idea where i should start my searching.
First is this shallow, four parts dish ( cabaret?):

I am not certain, if this is visible, here is written: Italy


And the second one is this bowl:

I haven't seen any marks there.
In which direction I should start looking for more?

 

(Sneaking in to offer an opinion despite not knowing much about glass...)

IMHO, these pieces look like pressed (molded) glass, not cut glass. They lack sharp detail/edges and look smooth/worn down.
Nevertheless, very pretty!

 

Thanks! You probably know more than me about it -).

 

Pretty..but not cut..pressed.

 

The second piece seems to be a variant of the Pinwheel pattern, produced by many different companies.

 

Both the bowl and 4 part relish look late 1930s t0 1970s t0 me. The bowl feels like Anchor Hocking and the relish Indiana. Other than my poor feeling I o not know who.

 

First one looks like a relish tray. Agree re all, pressed glass, not cut.

Debora

 

The first one looks like lead crystal, bottom rim appears cut and polished. If held to the sunlight does it refract into colors? If yes, most likely European in the last 30 years.

Second one looks like 1970s dip bowl, is it about 4-5" in diameter? If yes, then meant to go with a larger chip bowl.

Should add that neither is cut glass.

 

when u hold cut glass...you'll know it !!

keep trying!

 

Really, you're close, these are "imitation cut glass."

 

Thanks you all! So much knowledge in one post, I've learnt a lot!

 

With all those compound curves, if that italian piece was cut, it'd be very impressive. Pretty.

The molded bottom on the second is a clear sign of pressed glass.

Some pressed glass will have a polished bottom and/or a few elements will be cut. Takes a little practice

 

Modest, as usual

 

Thank you! The most important what i've learnt since I am here, it's being very, very carefull with assumptions. Have a good day!
