Edinburgh Crystal – Appin Cut (I think)

Cut Crystal, European Crystal

Edinburgh Crystal (5)I bought six of these pretty glasses ages ago here in Town at Under the Toadstool (great place!).  I was surprised to find that I hadn’t posted them.  They are marked “MADE IN Edinburgh SCOTLAND” and I think the pattern is called Appin.

I struggle with the cut patterns, such small differences between some patterns!  Replacements.com shows the pattern, but not this shape.  I’ve seen this shape referred to, in other sites, as a claret, but I don’t really know for sure.  Replacements dates them 1981-1987.

They have a surprising weight to them, a very brilliant shine and a pretty ring when pinged.  Beautiful pieces.

Vase

My daughter says that I need a new camera.  I don’t know if that’s true or not, I can obviously capture images.  However my photos definitely do not capture the brilliance of the cut pieces.  I think that’s likely less a reflection on the functions of the camera and more a comment on the lack of skill of the photographer!  This pretty little piece was purchased at a local Bible Mission Thrift Shop.  It is small in stature but large in shine.  I don’t know the pattern name, but it is signed, as you can see.  I think this was the signature of a company called Edinburgh Crystal.  This is what Wikipedia says about them –

Edinburgh Crystal was a cut glass crystal manufactured in Scotland between 1867 and 2006, and was also the name of the manufacturing company. In addition to drinking glasses, Edinburgh Crystal have made decanters, bowls, baskets, and bells, in several ranges. The company have produced the glass panels for the lamps on the British royal carriages.  The Edinburgh Crystal company went into administration in 2006 and, following its subsequent acquisition by Waterford Wedgwood, is now solely a brand name.

I don’t know how old this item is….but it is pretty.
