Floral Etch, Galaxy Blank, Plate Etched, Water Goblet

Morgantown Lace BouquetI have had these two glasses for a long time.  At one time I had this blank – #7668 – Galaxy – with the American Beauty etch (#734), this etch and the Mayfair etch.  I think I bought them all at once without picking up the differences between Mayfair (Etch #787 1/2) and the Lace Bouquet (Etch #810) stems.

I think I’ve owned these for at least 10 years.  Morgantown Lace Bouquet (5)Don’t know why I’ve never photographed them.  I actually am not that fond of them – don’t know why!

I gather that these glasses were produced from the late 1940s to the late 1950s expressly for Sears & Roebuck.

Floral Etch, Morgantown, Sherbert

Unknown etch with amber stem (2)I picked up this one pretty stem in Waterloo.  There were two , but one was chipped and I am no longer, knowingly, buying any damaged pieces.  (Sometimes I miss something and it drives me crazy!)

The experts at the Elegant and Everyday Glass Forum identified this lovely piece for me.  I thought I had seen it in one of my books, but no luck and I don’t have much on Morgantown.  I have very few Morgantown pieces any more.Unknown etch with amber stem

It is a very pretty floral etch and the amber stem and foot are most attractive.

I have a number of Morgantown etches.  The stems I own have all been produced on the same blanks (same shape, same stem, same optic).  I don’t have any Morgantown books so cannot date these stems, but what I have read seems to lead to an early twentieth century date.  These glasses are not uncommon.  I cannot remember where I got them.  I don’t use them as I am not really fond of them (don’t know why as they are attractive).  I think I like more deeply etched patterns, or a ‘finer’ crystal.  It’s like any preference, sometimes hard to explain.  The larger is the water goblet and the smaller is a cocktail or liquor or some other small glass purpose.
