I think this is the last of the glass animals that I have kicking around. My guy bought it home awhile back, likely from an auction. He can’t come home empty handed!
It’s a cute little thing. Satin, or frosted, horse sitting on a clear stand. Marked Goebel, c1985.
The actual name of the company is Goebel Porzellanfabik and it is a German company.

Yet two more pieces for the “unknown” etch Museum. These are pretty little things, likely sherries, with a zig zag needle etching of bows or bows. They have a narrow to medium optic.
I like the fact that the silver rim is also etched. I am not generally a fan of silver or gold rims, but the etching finishes it off nicely.
Likely never find out who made these, but they are pretty.

The photos absolutely do not do these stems justice. The green is a deep, rich shade. Very pretty.
I bought these on our Florida ramble at Pineapple Pattis in Fort Pierce. (Stop by when you are in the area). I got five. Unfortunately the sixth was chipped. They had sherbert/champagnes too, but I took a pass on them. Now…I am a wee sorry. But we were flying and I didn’t want the bother of packing things up myself, so I didn’t buy them. I did ask about the store’s shipping, but even they said the cost was unreasonable. Anyway – they might still be there!
These pieces were produced from 1927-1940. You don’t see the water goblets online often.
Fostoria’s “Green” is very attractive and these glasses look great on a shelf in my blue hued office.
