Unknown Engraved Cream Soups - Cambridge Rock Crystal? - Please Help Glassies

[virginia_quailman]

Hello Folks,

I recently purchased a set of crystal cream soup bowls and plates.  All the pieces are made of heavy crystal and engraved.  The cream soup bowls have the busiest design with daisy-like flowers and a band of leaves at the top.  The plates have a less intricate design.  Although purchased with the bowls, I don't know for sure if they are the same "pattern" or not.  The cream soups have a top rim diameter of 5 1/4" and the plates measure approximately 8 1/2" wide.

My first thought was that the pieces were Cambridge "Rock Crystal" with one of their many engraved designs.  When I consulted my Cambridge references, I came up empty.

Does anyone have ideas or leads?  Thanks in advance!

Other companies cut Cambridge glass. I would check Rock Sharp on relacements. They may still call it Libbey Rock sharp

Thanks George for the promising lead.  I went through everything in Replacements under Rock Sharpe.  No luck yet.  I'll keep looking.

I sent photos to Replacements for a pattern ID and they were unable to identify the design.  I've also investigated Paden City cuttings to the best of my ability.  Apparently, Paden City also produced "Rock Crystal" with various cut designs.  Any other leads for me to pursue??

Some patterns may never be id. Remember that at one time there were many independent decorating companies/departments doing cutting for dept stores, jewelers etc this may have been one of those who did not have a public catalog. I know that at one time Marshall Field & Co had inhouse cutters capable of doing that.
