I picked up these glasses at Antiques on the Ridge, a lovely shop in Ridgeway, Ontario. I also bought a set of unknown, at least to me stems, which I think are Baccarat, but haven’t yet identified. It isn’t all that usual to find so many pieces of etched glassware in this part of the world, and I was pleased to find these pieces.
The etch is#264 – Woodland. It is quite lovely, although I can’t figure out what kind of flowers are represented. I like the scrolls and although the line – #660 – isn’t fancy, the elongated scrolls enhance the fairly plain shape.
According to Replacements.com these glasses were likely manufactured from 1922-1928.
Several years ago I was fortunate to be able to visit the Fostoria Glass Museum in Moundsville, West Virginia. If you ever have a chance to go, it is well worth the visit. So many beautiful items and collections! Check out its history and location at the website of the Fostoria Glass Society of America.
