Title: champagne glass
Post by: confused.com on March 13, 2013, 11:40:36 am

Hi all I've bought a glass for the other half. I love it so that's one thing, hopefully he will and that's the main thing but....I wondered if anyone knows anything about it?

Sold as crystal, 1880s. Has etched images, 2 roses, a thistle, clovers and something else floral and some letters. You're thought please. Oh and its about 5 1/2 inches high.

I will try to help. I know nothing of antiques so here is my little bit. Maybe someone can add the rest.

The Rose, Thistle, Shamrock and Leek are the National plant emblems of England Scotland Ireland and Wales.

Good Luck!
