I'm really enjoying your channel. Living in Somerset so not far away, I've been dabbling with glass for a while and doing exactly what you say about asking questions and generally handling glass as much as possible to learn more, I'm now in possession of several pieces including custard cups, what I do with them is another matter!, I think mine range from early to late 19th century. I may have one that's a little older that one I'm less confident of, the glass is greyish tone. I started in architectural antiques but that was years ago , I'm trying to refresh my knowledge and start dealing after a few years away , the glass is an area I'm most interested in. I like old glass but really anything that catches my eye. . ☺️
Really interesting, I don't know much about glass, I obviously know more about porcelain and ceramics, thanks for sharing your knowledge. Learnt lots.😃
I thought that was wonderful. We don't find items like that over here (we are too young) but it was interesting to see and learn about the bases. thanks : )
LOVE the vid, LOVE the info, LOVE the stuffed animals............I come across glass all the time but have been looking for help in working out the age of older glasses so delighted to find this help. Thank you
As always, very informative! - I must say, I always look at the millions of glasses and decanters etc in Charity Shops and I always wonder if I'm looking at any worth £1000s haha.
Have you ever used a UV torch / black light on you glasses? I bought one for looking at amber etc. I bought a dinking glass in an op shop in Australia today… it has a very sharp pontil. Under that torch the clear glass has a strong unit colour tinge. Just stating to research, could be due to manganese content? Which stopped in 1915? My discovery of the day. Anyway, may or may not be useful. I am loving your videos.
Good. I have seen some later 19th /20th century glasses with conical & folded feet but they were pressed/moulded glass, so, as you say, feet are just one aspect of identification.
have you ever had victorian glasses with messages and mottos etched into the side? i have just bought a job lot of 5 tumblers and 1 rummer and they all messages like peace and plenty and good luck written on them cant seem to find much about them
Ведь это странно, что в Грузии, принадлежавшей Персии и Османам, а затем Российской империи... В маленьком государстве так много сохранилось антикварного стекла.. Больше чем в признанной стране стеклоделия Богемии??? Какое грузинское стекло? Мы жили в Российской федерации 70 лет прожили и никаких традиций стеклоделия в Грузии не видели😂. Фейковая ирформация о грузинском стекле зашкаливает. Вся Америка завалена антикварным стеклом из маленькой Грузии, где населения меньше чем в большом городе😂
Спасибо за ваш комментарий. извините, возникла путаница, когда я говорю о георгианском стекле, я говорю о периоде 18 века в Англии, георгианский период представляет собой короля Георга 1-2-3 и 4.
Thank you from Ukraine! Great knowledge. I have learned a lot!

Thank you Walter, I can say almost anything I have learned about glasses has come from watching this and your old videos, many years ago!
