It is not often that we make attributions to Ireland and never without sound justification. This specific engraving is seen on multiple vessels attibuted to and marked by the Waterloo Glass House of Cork Ireland. Interestingly the rummers attributed to Watererloo also have the same thick foot. form and enagraving. It is also possible that this was made at the Terrace Glass Works also of Cork as both deployed very similar designs and decorative schemas.
