Unknown Red Shamrock Glasses (1)I never did identify the glasses below in the first post.  I recently came across these glasses in Toronto and of course ‘had to have them’.

These pieces are larger, but have the same pretty etching.  The red is flashed on, not red glass.

I like the shape and weight of the stems and although I know this is irrelevant – they make the prettiest ‘ring’ when ‘pinged’.

I am still hopeful that someone will know who made these pretty stems.Unknown Red Shamrock Glasses (2)

033Isn’t this pretty?  I have not yet identified the etch.  It’s been awhile since I picked up an unknown etch, but these three were so pretty.  They used to have gold edges on the rim and base.  Most of it is worn off now.

Don’t know why I often lean when taking photos!

You can see the detailing in the close up.  I know that someone knows what these are.  When I was photographing them I thought there was a signature on the one.  030I kept looking at it with my magnifying glass, but couldn’t quite tell what it was.  I looked and turned the item and changed glasses, etc. trying to decipher the name or image.

Thank heavens there isn’t a video feed in my office.  Turned out to be food stuck on the bottom of the glass!  Sheesh.

I hope a little glass identifying angel reads this and tells me the history of this stem.

Maryland Glass Ribbon Etch Sherry/Cordials

I bought these four stems awhile back in Waterloo I think.  I knew I’d come across the etch at some point and thought I’d figure it out some day.  Finally got my act together.

As it turns out, these beautiful plate-etched sherry or cordial glasses were produced by the Maryland Glass Company, of Cumberland, Maryland in the 1930s. They could be used for any ‘sipping’ beverage.

The glasses are a dainty 5 1/8 inches tall, with an opening of 1 7/8 inches.

The pattern consists of ribbon in a bow, flowers and a swag. There is a narrow optic which gives the glasses a reflective quality. Note the beautiful shape of the bowl.

I’ve read that Tiffin also produced this etch, but that the shape of the blank they used was different – the stem was straight.

Cordial

I have posted this etch previously, but wanted to show these teensy, weensy stems.  They are only 3 1/2 inches tall with a 1 1/2 inch opening.  I am guessing they are liqueurs.  Only a thimble full of liquid would fit into these glasses.  I’d not seen these stems before in this etch.  Can’t recall where I bought them.  Someday when I get organized I’ll likely sell them (I have 5) but in the interim I enjoy their petiteness – if that’s a real word!
