[QUOTE="Lecollectionneur, post: 401357, member: 8569"]Originally, the first ones come fron Venise in Italy, after that they were copied since the end of the 16th century especially in Holland, in what is now Germany, in Switzerland less in France. Normally they are glass, often high quality and purity, more lighter they are more ancient, the modern ones when fine quality can be delicate and a good method to determine if they are cristal is the weight, the thickness, the engraving, the examples from komokwa are certainly fine glass, if you look at the foot, you can see some traces from the tool to form the disk, those are high quality of polishing, certainly end of the 19th century or beginning of the 20th made in Czechoslovakya were they conserve quality and know-how. The small versions made in England for free masons are heavy, they have to support shock on the table in ceremonial use, I think it's the design the most used with variations just before the design called "goblet". Cristal examples are heavy with high polished surfaces thicker than glass.[/QUOTE]
