i know it is crystal or lead crystal. and i know it is truly an antique because i am 40 now and i always remember it placed on there dining room table for holiday dinners since i was a child. i inherited it from my grandma who said it was a wedding present from her parents who got it as a wedding present themselves. it has no manufacturer markings on it. i have looked all over on the internet and cant find anything that looks similar. i am just wondering if anyone can help me as to find out if it is very valuable. i know it is hand cut on the exterior. im not smart on antiques but i can spot hand cut crystal. even if i snap my finger on the base of it which is quite thick it makes a very prominent ringing tone. any help would be appreciated. its 10 and 1/4 tall and 3 and 3/8 inches at the base. i can email a picture if anyone knows much about this. im going to sell it and i want true market value.

It's not because of religion, it's human nature. Optimists and pessimists are everywhere; also among atheists. I am atheist, but a friend brought me to a Halleluja-church once and they were extremely happy about things that could only make me cynical. Evangelicals see love all the time as well, where I see people using eachother. I could say: don't they see that this colourful fish could only be so colourful because millions of other fish died without having offspring because they were not colourful enough to attract fish of the opposite sex? (evolution) But yes, many old-fashioned protestants can be focused on sin too much. It doesn't make sense to me either, but they probably want rules and guidance in their lives. This is usually a cycle; those who grew up in a very serious religious family want to break free, and those who grew up in freestyle families want more rules.

Check first very carefully for any signature. It's often in the rim on the bottom. If not, take it to a reputable (reputable!) antique dealer. Do not tell them you want to sell it to them (they will only give you about a third of the value anyway). They should be able to help identify it for you. In our antique mall we allow our customers to browse through our selection of books. For a good appraisal, you may have to pay an appraiser.
Selling it for true market value may be difficult unless you want to list it on e-bay...or happen to know someone who collects this particular type of glass. Also, your local library should have reference books for glass. Good luck!

I can see that you would like to know about it, but do you really want to sell it? It sounds like it is a family heirloom.
