Dorflinger DecanterI still have these pieces.  In fact here is a photo of a decanter that I bought and sold with this pattern (I loved the stopper, hollow with the dainty etch on it).  Until recently, they remained unnamed.  However I came across these punch cups on Etsy and took the opportunity to ask the seller if s/he knew anything about this pattern

As it turns out the pattern is acid etched.  Older pieces – 1908-1918.  It is called Lotus and was produced by Dorflinger Glass.  On Replacements.com they identify a water goblet as part of Kalana line.  But my stem has a bit of a bead on it, unlike the Replacements.com stem so I don’t know if it is from the same line.

I don’t know anything about Dorflinger Glass, but here is a link to the Dorflinger Glass Museum page.

I was in Orono this past weekend and the four stems are still there.  Now that I know what they are, I might have to have another, more serious peek at them.

This glass is driving me crazy!  A year or so ago I saw wine stems in this pattern in Orono.  They were costly so I didn’t buy them.  I saw two of these at the Courtice flea market recently.  They were $7.00 so I thought I’d get them.

I thought that I had seen this pattern in a book.  So…..I poured over all my books and found, what I thought was this pattern.  It is Bryce Brothers, Etch 410, also known as Tall Fans, Thistle or Asparagus.  This is what I remembered.  But unfortunately it is close but not quite bang on.  Dang!  So the mystery is on…what is this etch?
