Collectors Facts - Ringed Base style Water Sets, made in India


Tumblers and pitchers are known with a distinctive (stacked) ringed base. As well as having this characteristic base, the glass also has frosting (acid etching that looks white) and designs depicted in rich marigold iridescence.

They were almost certainly made in India in that they have the appearance and characteristics of other iridised and frosted pieces that have been attributed to makers in India.

Examples are still emerging, so this will be a work in progress. These are the patterns that we know of so far.

Bombay Bouquet - tumbler
Deco Garden - pitcher and tumbler
Destiny, also known as Peacock Tail Eye - pitcher and tumbler
Golden Swan - tumbler
Hunter - pitcher
Peacock Tail - tumbler
Pillars and Rings - tumbler
Sunrise and Lake - tumbler
Warriors - pitcher
Witny - pitcher
