Hi All,
Just wondering if anyone knows this crystal glass pattern or maker, unfortunately its not marked but many aren't. This is just annoying me now as I have seen it before and I am wondering if its Edinburgh crystal, the glasses are heavy quality made but I just come up blank.
Any help would be much appreciated, many thanks in advance. Conway117

Hi... These look like they were made for the mass market similar to this one... £30 for a set of six....

They look like they're moulded rather than having been "cut".
If you look at the edges (particularly of the lower facets), they're rounded off but if you look at proper "cut glass" the edges are much sharper.
They're probably just "glass" rather than "crystal glass" so without you knowing for sure exactly what they're made from, I wouldn't describe them as "crystal".
"Proper" Lead crystal has Lead Oxide in it but modern "crystal" often has a different oxide composition.
It's life Jim, but not as WE know it.
Live long and prosper.
