Glass experts! help!

I have this piece that I just cannot find anything like it. Maybe a spooner? Glass is a bit lighter weight. It has an applied girl and flowers on the front with a faded background image. I am trying to figure out age and maker.

Wow! That is really nice.

Definitely looks blown. Is it possibly English, Irish, or Scottish.

If no one answers this for you before hand…I will give a look in my reference books tomorrow…which deal with mostly EAPG. I know there is a book out there on English, Irish, and Scottish glass. I have seen it on Etsy. I don’t believe I have seen it here. You could possibly do a search on any site “book reference European” . I really don’t think this is American…but, like I said, I will give a quick look in my books tomorrow. And, of course, I could be wrong…but the motif does not seem to be an early American design. This is my somewhat educated guess. Sorry, that is all I have.

Maybe someone more knowledgeable than I will come thru for ya.

Good luck with it.

Nice Find!!!

Thanks! I got it from someone who had a lot of EAPG glass. I do believe it is blown with a ground down pontil. It is super cool
