Vernay was one of many Waterford patterns. The Waterford patterns were created in the 1920s to honor the company's founder, Thomas Hawkes' Irish origins. There wasn't so much a change from one to the other, as they were made simultaneously. <br /><br />For example, the two "stem shapes" 7332 and 7334 represent the same bowl and stem, but the 7334 has the round base, and 7332 has the square. Likewise the 7227 and 7240 were for the square base and round base respectively in another bowl and stem combination. They are also found in 7340 and 7330. Some of their shapes appear to have only come in one or the other. And then there are some that show the same stem and bowl but whose numbers don't relate like the 7027 and the 4074; this may suggest that one was done at a different time than the other. Vernay was cut on at least the following stem shapes: 6015, 4074, 7072, 7334, 7332, 6028, 7340, 7400, 7227, 7240,and 7330. <br /><br />Some time later, several of the earlier deep cut "gravic" fruit and flower patterns were engraved on Waterford series blanks. The Waterford series apparently was still produced until around the time of WWII. Hope this helps, thanks for your question!LuxuryGlasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05992539344856477483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6182801764751206335.post-5843264134972184902017-03-25T18:29:27.197-07:002017-03-25T18:29:27.197-07:00At what point did they change from the square base...At what point did they change from the square base to the round base on the Vernay pattern?Doughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00982013623879222701noreply@blogger.com
