\"Dorflinger<\/a>I still have these pieces. \u00a0In fact here is a photo of a decanter that I bought and sold with this pattern (I loved the stopper, hollow with the dainty etch on it). \u00a0Until recently, they remained unnamed. \u00a0However I came across these punch cups on\u00a0Etsy<\/a>\u00a0and took the opportunity to ask the seller if s\/he knew anything about this pattern<\/p>\n

As it turns out the pattern is acid etched. \u00a0Older pieces – 1908-1918. \u00a0It is called Lotus and was produced by Dorflinger Glass. \u00a0On Replacements.com they identify a water goblet as part of Kalana line. \u00a0But my stem has a bit of a bead on it, unlike the Replacements.com stem so I don’t know if it is from the same line.<\/p>\n

I don’t know anything about Dorflinger Glass, but here is a link to the Dorflinger Glass Museum<\/a> page.<\/p>\n

I was in Orono this past weekend and the four stems are still there. \u00a0Now that I know what they are, I might have to have another, more serious peek at them.<\/p>\n

This glass is driving me crazy! \u00a0A year or so ago I saw wine stems in this pattern in Orono. \u00a0They were costly so I didn’t buy them. \u00a0I saw two of these at the Courtice flea market recently. \u00a0\"\"<\/a>They were $7.00 so I thought I’d get them.<\/p>\n

I thought that I had seen this pattern in a book. \u00a0So…..I poured over all my books and found, what I thought was this pattern. \u00a0It is Bryce Brothers, Etch 410, also known as Tall Fans, Thistle or Asparagus. \u00a0This is what I remembered. \u00a0But unfortunately it is close but not quite bang on. \u00a0Dang! \u00a0So the mystery is on…what is this etch?<\/p>\n
