On my Friday rambles I picked this up at a St. Vincent de Paul’s.  It was priced at $3.00 but my guy had to bargain it down to $2.00.  I am way too skitterish about doing this, but of course it’s always to my advantage!

I don’t know if this is old or not.  It’s really not even all that appealing to me. I’m not a fan of satin/frosted glass.  It was the etch around the rim that caught my eye.

I still haven’t had any luck matching anything – shape or etch, but will hang on to it for awhile (if I can find a place to put it!)

I no longer have these stems.  I gave them to one of my daughters some time ago.  They were among the first items I bought when I started buying in bulk!

I don’t have any recall where I got them, but I was drawn to them because of the lattice work.  I never was able to identify them.  Fostoria has a lattice etch, but nothing like this.

Likely to always remain a mystery!

 

Unknown Needle Etched Wines

Marie, the lovely woman who owns Under the Toadstool, bought these glasses a number of months ago.  I swore that I would NOT buy them as I don’t know who made them, and I don’t need any more needle etches!

However today I cracked under the pressure of knowing that no-one else had bought them.  I only bought the wines (7).  They are very pretty – I very much like the shape.

I tried to identify this pattern for Marie, but was unable to do so.  So I’ve posted the stem on Elegant and Everyday Glass Forum.  I hope someone knows the etch, but I’m guessing that this will not be identified.

Marie says that she cannot sell glasses.  I don’t know why, everyone should have something special to drink their libations from.  Vintage glass is special!
