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 decantersbowlsbaskets, 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.
