I need help finding a vintage glass! Any experts?!

IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece · 30/11/2019 15:18

I want a vintage (specifically vintage, not a modern reproduction as I want it to replace a broken one!) champagne coupe/Saucer with etched stars like this. I’ve trawled a bunch of antique glass places in London with no such luck.

Does anyone know anywhere online or in London (or within an hour of London frankly!) that might have one

I’d prefer to buy just one or two but depending on the price will buy more if need be!

This is the perfect gift for someone important to me and I’d be v grateful for any help!

Did you get sorted ? Such pretty glasses .

HuggedTrees · 07/12/2019 19:04

Wondering if you found them or still bidding on the EBAY ones?

IHopeYoustepOnALegoPiece · 07/12/2019 19:34

Still bidding on the eBay ones! It’s v stressful!!

Contacted and trawled more shops then I can even imagine and absolutely nothing!

Good luck OP, fIngers crosses for you. Thanks to this thread I have just bought 6 vintage sherry glasses on eBay that, I think, match some gorgeous champagne coupes I inherited from my granny. Never knew I needed vintage sherry glasses but as soon as I saw them I had to have them! Really pleased and quite ridiculously excited Smile

Honestly, I’m so stressed about this auction! It’s v nerve wracking!

There’s something really special about vintage glass OneDay, isn’t there! There’s so many bits I now want after trawling vintage shops for these ones!

Unfortunately the estimated delivery is Christmas Eve so won’t be able to give as the gift until end of Jan but I’m still thrilled!

I appreciate how invested everyone has been :o

Ah I'm so glad you got them!! Grin

IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece · 09/12/2019 18:44

The lovely seller has sent them first class today so hopefully here tomorrow or Wednesday...as much as I’m excited that it means I can give them earlier, I’m more excited I don’t have to panic for 2w about wether they’ll arrive safely Grin

IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece · 10/12/2019 09:06

They’re here! They’ve made it in one piece and have been swiftly wrapped but they’re perfect!

I can’t thank you all enough, especially CatalogueUniverse for finding them!

I’m SO excited to give them!

HuggedTrees · 11/12/2019 00:15

Whoop whoop! Hope the recipient appreciates the thought and effort

IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece · 12/12/2019 14:45

Argh! She didn’t want to open it before Christmas (I’m sorry, where’s the fun in that!! Grin) and couldn’t fit the box in her bag so now I have to post it overseas so the nail biting over if they arrive in one piece starts again’

Such an enabler !

Trumpton · 31/12/2019 17:26

As my granny would say “ It’s a long way from champagne you were raised ! “
And my dad “ Don’t have champagne , have real pain ! “ and he would pinch us !
