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.
