018I can’t remember where I acquired these pretty pieces – drawing an absolute blank, Came across them in a cupboard recently.

I have not seen the etch and the blank is also unfamiliar to me.  I have poste016d them to see if anyone else can recognize anything, but I don’t have high hopes.

It’s been awhile since I have added tot he “Unknown Etch Museum”…but here is a likely candidate.

I am not sure if they were intended to be wine glasses or a liquor cocktail perhaps.  I haven’t measured them but I guess they hold 3-4 ounces.

They have a pretty look with a medium-wide optic and detailing on the stem.   This sounds odd, but they have a nice weight when held.

Unknown Cut Engraved stemsI bought these (4) as part of a lot at a local auction.  I was hoping that I would find a mark to identify them, but no luck.Unknown Cut Engraved stems (4)

These pieces are very pretty.

They have engraving/etches (I never know the difference) and cuts.  The decorations extend from the bowl, down the stem and on to the base.

I would like to identify these pieces.  So…if anyone knows, please share!

Mary Lou's glass (posted)Some time ago I posted this stem that belongs to my pal Mary Lou from Thunder Bay.  It was the sole piece left from her deceased mom.

I have never had any luck identifying the piece.  The needle etch is not particularly remarkable in any way, nor is the blank/shape.  But of course she loves it and I would like to find additional pieces to give to her.

Now I like the needle etches, but of course cannot remember if I own them already, or if they look anything like this glass.Needle Etch on Cordial

I picked up two of these stems recently, thinking that they were a match to Mary Lou’s glass.  Of course they obviously are not!

Even if the blank was different, the etch is not similar, other than it is also a needle etch.

And….then I am trolling through photos and discover that I likely have this etch in a water goblet.  Can’t recall if the blank is the same.  Likely older pieces, but not for Mary Lou.  Additions to the unknown etch museum!
