I've recently stumbled across your excellent contributions at Cut glass, Engraved glass and Gold ground. It is (almost) unbelievable that such basic topics lacked their own articles until you created them only weeks ago. I hardly ever give these things out but I just wanted to thank you for such impressive and important contributions.
