The mould mark on the base has proved impossible to photograph but makes this an open and shut case. The rows af split cuts on neck, the star and arches of strawberry diamonds are motfs shared with Waterford and the Cork Glass company. In the ebsence of the moulded mark this would be difficult to attribute.
