Naturally I know nothing about this and it isn't stamped. I saw the in a little shop and fell in love with the butterflies and the workmanship So if anyone knows about them or if you know how I can find out it would be much appreciated. Thank you
Thanks so much for the love. I am new here and that makes me feel welcome.
Im all about the glass and this is absolutely stunning. It looks like high quality cut crystal. Just wow!
Thank you Melanie
Thank you all for the love on this. I appreciate it.
Ahh. So this may help. Perhaps it's Hofbaur. https://www.etsy.com/listing/216110375/vintage-red-byrde-cut-crystal-basket-by Although funny story I thought it looked kind of like a moth and I put cur crystal moth in the search and it said do you mean cut crystal meth? Yikes. Ahh the interwebs.
Thank you EAPGD. I went to the site, not the cut crystal meth one, but the other one and saw a lot of the pretty stuff Then I went to Hofbaur and saw a lot of their work. It is breathtaking and you are right altho, the red byrde cut crystal is so much prettier than mine. The color is so vivid and bright. Anyway thank you again. I now have some history on my gurgling fish and my crystal basket. :)
Yeah I skipped the foregoing internet suggestion as well. I found you some more examples since you like it so much. I really love yours as well. http://search.replacements.com/texis/search/?order=ClientCount-d,PieceOrder-a&query=hofbauer%20byrdes
Thank you EAPDG I've been over in search replacements and I found some of the byrde collection also has a beautiful orange color but with it the color is the background the byrde is set in. It is very lovely. I am just fascinated by this crystal.Thank you again. I enjoyed it.
Wrong page for this stuff. Not American Brilliant Cut Glass for sure.
