Hawkes or Dorflinger Cobweb Cordial

Such a beautiful stem in an extremely rare pattern by Hawkes. This pattern was also cut by Dorflinger but due to the base treatment on this stem, I attribute it to Hawkes.

The Cobweb pattern literally looks like a cobweb dangling from fields of strawberry-diamond cutting. Many miters come together to form deep channeled hobs. The stem is particularly nice with a lapidary know and an air-trap stem! The base is finished with a beautiful 14-point hobstar with split points. The smudge you see on the last picture is actually just stickum’ from a label and is not part of the glass.

The cordial measures just under 4 1/2″ tall and 2 1/8″ across the top. It’s in perfect condition with the original annealed rim fully intact. The glass is extremely clear with a beautiful wood wheel polish.
