This stem is quite small – about 9.5 cm. tall with a 6.5 cm. opening.  I imagine that it was intended to be used for sherry, or something like that.  I picked it up at the Brighton Estate Auctions’ yard sale for $1.00-$2.00.  I’ve never seen anything like it.  I can’t tell if the etch is of corn, or feathers, or perhaps just a stylized etch of nothing.  My guess is feathers.  I like the shape of the bowl.  It’s hard to tell from the photo, but it has a bit of a flare at the top.  I don’t even know where to start to identify this stem.  If anyone knows…..please share.

I am not even sure where this bowl is in my house – I’ve had the photo for awhile…….. It looks like a Lancaster or Standard etch, but I don’t really know.  As always….open to someone else’s wisdom.  I have absolutely no idea where I bought it.  It must have been cheap because I’m really not all that fond of it.  I need one of my kids to say – mom…can I have this?  My kids are used to seeing glass around and I really would like to palm more of it off on them.  I am proud to say that not many women would have a 21 year old son with Waterford highball glasses (bought by his older sister for Christmas) that he treasures.  My three kids have an appreciation for fine glasses, but no space for storage, as they are still in the starting out in life stage.  But… I keep telling them to appreciate this stuff, because the way that I am going – this will ultimately be their inheritance!!!!
