If we accept that cemented crimped silver rims date to near the time of manufacture, and are original, then they can give clues to age and provenance. One such clue is the work of David Loebl, of London Company Schindler & Sons, who are thought to have imported quantities of Bohemian glass in the first 3 decades of the 20th century.
His maker's mark is a very crude DL or D.L. This example dates 1910: remarkably early in my mind, for this ware, which defies the Belle Époque and Art Nouveau fancy for surface, decoration and form. Plain clear glass such as this must have appeared incredibly modern at the time. Now, it could have been produced in any of the later decades of the same century.
