I have owned, and posted quite a number of pieces with this etch, over the years. I have owned champagne flutes and saucers, brandy snifters, decanters, juice glasses, cordials and now these wine glasses (I assume).
Likely I have owned more pieces with this etch, than any other pattern. Nonetheless I have sold most of them.
It is a pretty etch, difficult to photograph, so the photos never do it justice. But this isn’t THE ONE that I will collect for myself!

This is likely an open champagne or a high sherbert. I have just one to add to my needle etch museum! What I am going to do with these single glasses is a big mystery.
This is an attractive piece. Nice sharp rim, lovely to hold.
Very graceful stem with the interesting repeated pattern.

I was staggered to find four of these stems locally in pristine condition. If you find needle etched pieces in this area, they are generally one offs, and of very simple etching. These are gorgeous pieces (do I always say that?) and the photos do not do them justice.
Pretty colour with a narrow optic. I don’t know if they are cordials, sherries or whatever, but they are small, standing 5 14 inches with a 2 1/4 inch opening.
I hope I can identify the etch some day!
