Cordials, Needle Etch

Needle Etched Cordials (2)There  was awhile back when I would just buy any needle etched stem that I came across.  They just fascinated me.

Rarely could I determine where they were made or when.  I always just assume, wrongly or not, that were early twentieth century.

I am sure that I have a number stashed away in boxes of various shapes and sizes.  But I think there are quite a few cordials, niche never get used!

I recently picked this pair up.  They likely were inexpensive.  The details of the etching are  interesting.

Who knows?  Maybe some day I will figure out who made them and when.

Unknown Etch – Could this be Baccarat?

Leaves, Plate Etched

 

001I was in Denver recently. It is a beautiful city set in beautiful surroundings.  There is a strip of antique stores on South Broadway and the area is coined “Antiques Row”.  I trolled the shops but didn’t buy any new pieces of glass.

However….I have recently been thinking about this stem.  I came across a pattern that resembled this particular etch at Replacements.com awhile back when I was searching for an identification for another piece.  It is what they are calling BAC61 by Baccarat.  I’ve gone back and forth on the etch for ages.  The blank is not the same, but the designs are very close.  I don’t have the glass at hand to compare as it is likely in a box in the garage.  But they do look very similar.

Patterns always look slightly different on differing shapes of course.  But…..perhaps this piece is no longer an unknown.

002 (4)I’ve never seen this etch before.  I picked this single glass up recently.  The bowl is small – likely a sherry, but it is still tall.  It has a very attractive stem.  I know I’ve seen the stem before, but just can’t place the company.  It kind of reminds me of stems that I have that are imports from Europe.  I’d love to hear from someone about the provenance.

This pretty little glass (photos above) has an etch that has very similar details to Tiffin’s Adam etch (photo below).

But….unfortunately I have been unable to identify it.

Even Replacements has it listed as an unknown.

It has a pretty shape – tall, narrow stem, medium optic and bell-shaped bowl.

Love to hear from anyone who knows it.
