Pair of Webb Corbett Cross and Wedge Cut Port Glasses

This is a pair of high quality cut lead crystal port glasses by Webb Corbett. The rounded bowl is cut above the centre with a ring of ten large criss-crosses, the upper and lower limbs of which come in to close approximation. The diamond-shaped panel formed between adjacent crosses is filled with a smaller cross cut. There is an elongated vertical wedge cut through the centre of each larger cross that extends towards the base of the bowl. The stem and foot are plain; the latter is marked in the centre with the words ‘WEBB CORBETT MADE IN ENGLAND’. Each glass has a height of approximately 9.9cm, with a diameter at the rim of about 4.6cm and across the foot of about 4.9cm. They are in excellent condition, with no chips or cracks.
