The reference books are the greatest help.  I picked up four of these stems in Waterloo this weekend.  There were eight available, but only these were mint.  I knew I had seen this pattern before, and sure enough, with the help of my handy dandy book – Florence’s Glassware Pattern Identification Guide, Volume III: Early Identification for Glassware from 1900 through the 1960’s – I found the pattern.

Florence (page 107) identifies the blank as #350, with an unidentified etch.  The producer was Bryce, Higbee & Company and the production year was 1916.  Six items were made in the crystal colour only.

This is a small stem with a pretty shape and etch.  Likely for a sipping beverage of some sort.

I have had this set of small stems – cordials, or sherries or liquors – for some time.  I could never determine the etch.  My pal Mary Lou sent me a photo of a stem her mom gave her.  In trying to identify it I came across the name of this pattern – yippie!  Well, not a name, but at least the company and the etch number.  It is very pretty.  They are hard to see, but check out the

butterflies, in profile, above the garland.  I don’t have an age on this stem, but I’d bet they are first third of the twentieth century…..but I am certainly open, and hoping, for a correction.
