It took me along time to identify this etch. I always think it’s kind of sad for a pattern when it doesn’t have a ‘real’ name, just an etch number. This pattern looks like a closed poppy. You can’t tell from the photo, but even the stem is fuzzy like a poppy stem. There are a number of poppy etches however, and perhaps it was hard to come up with another name. Tiffin had its Flanders etch (introduced in the 1920s) and then reintroduced as Alexandria (1979) and as St. Gallen (also 1979). Fostoria also has its Poppy/Poupee etch, and there are likely others. I have a couple of these glasses, and a couple dessert/sherberts.
