<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Brian Warshaw, post: 9868717, member: 16674&quot;]I was first attracted by the uranium glass foot, then the 16-flat glass panes from which the bowl was formed, and then by the overall design.</p><p><br /></p><p>The dimensions: - height 7cm; rim/foot diameter 5.50cm; and maximum diameter of bowl 6.50cm, suggest to me that it could be a fortified wine glass.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are no mould marks, and the pontil marks feel very fine, none of the ruggedness shown in photos 3 &amp; 4. The foot, when struct, gives off a dull thud; and although the bowl rings, it has no resonance as does leaded glass.&nbsp; There is a small air-bubble in one of the three feet [Photo 6]</p><p><br /></p><p>They were bought in France, although the one possibility thrown up by Google Reverse is an Italian glass with slightly different dimensions, and an unknown number of flat panels. The foot isn’t uranium glass, and the seller suggest it is Italian. The seller says they are 1960.</p><p><br /></p><p>Your suggestions of the purpose of the glasses, and an age and country would be appreciated.&nbsp; Assuming it is mouth blown, how did they form the bowl similar to that of a brandy glass, I would love to know.&nbsp; The panes run from top to bottom of the bowl.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks very much.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]495145[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]495157[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Photograph 3</p><p>[ATTACH=full]495138[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Photograph 4</p><p>[ATTACH=full]495139[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]495145[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Photograph 6</p><p>[ATTACH=full]495140[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]495141[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]495141[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]495158[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]495159[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]495147[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
