Note du spécialiste

See Pieter C. Ritsema van Eck and Henrica M. Zijlstra-Zweens, Glass in the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, 1993, Vol. I, p. 190, no. 302 for a similar example with plain vertical ribs, the term 'nip't diamond waies' is used by Ravenscroft in 1677 to describe this distinctive style of pincered ornament.
