I bought two of these pieces in Brighton at the auction house’s yard sale. I thought that it would be easy to identify them, with the distinctive looking stem.
Replacements calls the shape #325 and the etch #325-6. I only have one Bryce book and it doesn’t appear in that title. So…who knows?
I think this a cocktail glass. It has a medium optic and is very attractive.
More stems for the Needle Etch museum!
I have a set of 12 of these. I’d love to know more about their history
Hi – To be honest, I don’t know much more than the pattern line number. I do have a very interesting Monograph (#78) – Bryce Brothers Company, 1950-1965 including four catalog reprints by Tom Felt as part of the glass study series of The West Virginia Museum of American Glass Ltd. Line $#325 is not included in this monograph which leads me to think that this line was no longer being produced. I tend to think these stems were any early pattern. According to the monograph, the Bryce Brothers Company was founded in 1893 and were originally locat4d in Hammondville, PA. In 1896 they relocated to Mount Pleasant, PA.
One thing I can say is that the line was produced with colour on one or both of the bowl and stem and was both etched and plain. It also came in different sizes.
Wish I had more info for you. Thanks for your comment.
